How to Use a Microsoft Access Database to Update SAP HANA Data in Real Time


Update SAP HANA data by creating a linked table in Microsoft Access with the CData SAP HANA ODBC Driver.

CData ODBC drivers connect your data to any database management tool that supports Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). This includes many of the most popular productivity tools, adding new capabilities for document sharing and collaboration. Using the CData ODBC driver for SAP HANA, you can update live SAP HANA data in Microsoft Access; for example, you can make updates that can be immediately seen by other users.

Connect to SAP HANA as an ODBC Data Source

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

Set the Server, Database and Port properties to specify the address of your SAP Hana database to interact with. Set the User and the Password properties to authenticate to the server.

Follow the steps below to create a linked table, which enables you to access live Buckets data.

  1. On the External Data tab in Access, click ODBC Database.
  2. Select the option to link to the data source. A linked table will enable you to read from and write data to the Buckets table.
