What problem does it solve? Working with SAP HANA databases outside of SAP-native tooling requires memorizing dozens of CLI commands, connection file formats, and output options. This Skill provides structured guidance for the hana-cli npm package so you can connect, inspect, convert, and administer HANA databases without digging through documentation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Database Object Inspection: Inspect tables, views, procedures, functions, indexes, and triggers, then convert metadata to 17+ formats including CDS, EDMX, OpenAPI, GraphQL, and SQL DDL. - HDI Container Management: Create, list, and drop HDI containers and groups, and generate container access users for development workflows. - Cloud & BTP Operations: List, start, and stop SAP HANA Cloud instances and integrate with the BTP CLI for cost management. - MCP Integration: Use natural language queries through the hana-mcp-server for exploratory analysis alongside scriptable CLI commands. - Use Case: You need to migrate an existing HANA schema into a CAP project. Use this Skill to inspect each table and run massConvert to generate CDS entity definitions for the entire schema in one step. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to connect to your SAP HANA database with hana-cli and inspect a specific table, for example by requesting to show the structure of a table in your schema and export it as CDS.
