What must be explicitly handled in Native SQL statements when accessing an SAP HANA database?

When working with Native SQL statements in an SAP HANA database, client handling is a critical aspect that must be explicitly managed. This involves being aware of how the client interacts with the database and ensuring that proper connections and configurations are maintained.

In Native SQL, developers have to be vigilant about establishing and maintaining connections to the database, as improper handling can lead to issues such as timeout errors or connection leaks. Additionally, different client environments may necessitate specific settings or adjustments to guarantee seamless interaction with the SAP HANA database. Consequently, a robust understanding of client handling is essential for effective database operations and optimal performance.

While elements like error handling and transaction management are also important in SQL programming, they can often be managed with more automated processes or handled by higher-level frameworks, which might abstract some of this complexity away from the developer. However, client handling requires direct attention and comprehension of the client’s role in establishing a connection with the SAP HANA system.
