Can I learn & practice HANA on my home laptop with the server-only version of HANA Express

Or do I need the "Server + Applications" version of HANA Express to fully learn HANA Development?

p.s. As I don't have the requisite 16 GB RAM, so I can't install the "Server + Applications" version of HANA Express.

Hi

I know that I'm handicapped using only the "Server only" version of HANA Express , so I'll be grateful if someone can point me a easy way out to practice full HANA course using home laptop.

If you installed Server only version, then you dont have WEB IDE as a development IDE (its part of that SERVER+Applications) installation option.

In your case, you need to install hana studio and connect it to to your express. But you dont have capabilities of XSA. Just old HANA 1.0 options (XSJS and SQLScript)
