Book Announcement: SAP HANA Administration
I’ve mentioned it before in a couple of threads and today I am happy to officially and proudly announce:
There is now a pack of paper with my name on, available and waiting to be bought by you.
That’s right.
My colleague Richard Bremer and I put together what we think should be known by every SAP HANA DBA.
The book covers
- installation and setup of a SAP HANA instance
- management of users and roles
- dealing with tables
- coping with partitioning and data distribution
- indexing
- compression
- using PlanViz and lots more.
Since SAP HANA is a very rapid evolving platform we put a lot of weight to fundamentals, concepts and principles that will take you far and likely still be important to master in revisions to come.
Has everything we thought up made it into the book? Definitively not!
The rigid editing process cut down from 900+ pages to around 722, but it is still quite a brick of dead trees.
Beyond that, I can honestly say I wish I had this book when I started to work with SAP HANA.
Since not everyone is willing to see little forests cut down for an IT book, the good folks at SAP Press provide electronic versions for all the major platforms as well.
The book can be ordered directly on www.sap-press.com or via the usual suspects of book retailing.
SAP Press will be present at the upcoming teched && d-code events and so will be Richard (your chance to ask for a signature on your copy or ask some questions 🙂 ).
That’s it – hope you enjoy.
Cheers, Lars
Just picked up my e-book version whilst I await shipment of the hardcopy. Browsing through the (very thorough) contents I relish working through it, such a wealth of knowledge in there.
Thanks to you and Richard for all your hard work, have a great launch day!
Thanks for buying 🙂
Hope you enjoy the read and that you find some interesting bits and pieces in there!

Lars and Richard,
i'm looking forward to find out more about MergedogMonitor, CleanupStrategy_DIRTY and the like from my e-book and hard copies and get the tweet discount to cover my sales tax.
good luck with the rest of readership!
with best regards,

Awesome! Thanks for becoming a loyal customer (hehehe) and for spreading the word.
I guess the 2nd edition will have to include a lot of feedback...

Congratulations, Lars and Richard!
Great addition to the SAP HANA library. It has all the ingredients to become a classic reference. Just downloaded my copy.
Thanks for all the hard work.

Congratulations Lars 🙂 Will be ordering my copy today.
Seems like 10% discount is only for Europe.

Congrats Lars 🙂
Thanks Sreehari. 🙂
Hello Lars,
A lot of question you provided the answers, thanks!
For me in China, just a little bit expensive (around RMB 400).
However, I will buy it with my colleague.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Tong Ning
Hi Tong, that's great to hear!
Hope you and your colleague find it useful and have some fun with it.
Cheers,
Lars
Hi Lars,
I have bought your book! 🙂
Can I ask some questions during reading your book?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Tong Ning
Hi Tong,
sure you can ask questions about the book and the topics we discuss in it.
I think the best way would be to use the SAP HANA and In-Memory Computing forum and refer to either this blog post, link my name (@ <Lars_Breddemann>) or Richard's name (@ Richard_Bremer) and/or use a tag <sap_hana_admin_book>.
That way it's pretty sure we don't miss your question.
- Lars
Hello Lars,
Thank you very much for the information!
Any discount if we are SAP partners 😛 ?
Regards,
Chi Wo
That would be a question to discuss with SAP Press, our publishing house.
There had (so far) been discounts for Facebook/Twitter users and for TechEd && dcode visitors.
Maybe they also have a special discount for SAP partners.
Following the guys from SAP Press on the usual social networks is a pretty good idea to get discount offers 😉

Hello Lars,
