Dear SAP Community,

Welcome to our November release update! We're excited to present you many powerful new features. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting your journey, we have something for you. This update features a range of exciting new capabilities, such as adding explanations to SQL statements for SAP HANA Cloud or an update to our Generative AI capabilities for MDK development.

Join us as we explore the details of what's new!

 

SAP HANA Cloud SQL Statement Explanation

The SAP HANA Database Explorer SQL Console in SAP Build Code offers a new feature for adding explanations to SQL statements for SAP HANA Cloud. The explanations can make it easier to understand complex or unfamiliar SQL queries.

The statement explanation feature is triggered by selecting an SQL statement in the SQL console and choosing “Explain SQL Statement using AI” from the menu.

The explanations are added to a copy of the original statement into the SQL console. The copy that contains the explanations is delimited by “AI generated SQL query explanation begins/ends” block comments.

As with all AI generated content the generated comments should be reviewed and checked for validity. If the comments are useful, the original statement may be discarded or combined with the comments as needed.

 

Generative AI Capabilities for MDK

We are thrilled to announce an exciting update to our Generative AI capabilities for MDK (Mobile Development Kit) development. Previously, these capabilities were only available when a single project was opened at the folder level. We have now enhanced this functionality to support more scenarios. Our latest updates now enable you to use Generative AI features when working with multiple projects listed either in the Projects Explorer or at the workspace level.

For example, if you have multiple projects open in the Projects Explorer and want to generate a page in a specific project using the MDK page generation genie, it will now prompt you to select a service file from various service files in multiple projects and a page will be generated in that specific project. This enhancement provides greater flexibility and convenience when working with multiple projects in MDK development.
