SAP HANA Admin - Smart Data Access

In SAP HANA system, you can use Smart Data Access (SDA) option to replicate data to HANA database from other data sources where you create virtual tables, which are linked to tables in the remote system. You can perform read/write operations on these virtual tables - SELECT, Insert, and Update.

All the above remote data sources are supported under HANA SPS07 or higher. Older version of SAP HANA supports only - Sybase, Apache Hadoop, and Teradata.
