What is diffrence beween SAP HANA and SAP Native Hana?Both are same? 

[HakanHaslaman]

SAP HANA is a high-performance, in-memory database system, used for real-time analytics and applications.

SAP Native HANA, refers to a development method where the application is built and runs directly on the HANA database to fully leverage its capabilities.

So, SAP HANA is the database, while SAP Native HANA is a development approach using this database.

Hi,

This is answered in an older HANA Community thread on the same topic :

https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-q-a/difference-between-bw-on-hana-native-hana-and-hana-enter...

Native HANA means it is something build on top of the HANA BOX and it can have the full HANA performance and benefits and there is another term called non-native HANA applications which means the developments done using other technologies can also run on top of HANA, like .net, java applications.

Kind Regards

Simon
