It translates SQLAlchemy's ORM queries and SQL expressions into HANA-compatible SQL, using hdbcli as the underlying connection driver. The dialect handles HANA-specific quirks like case sensitivity rules, LIMIT/OFFSET behavior, and type mappings (e.g., String\u2192NVARCHAR, JSON\u2192NCLOB).\n\nThe package supports core HANA features including table type specification (ROW or COLUMN), foreign key constraints, unique constraints, and schema reflection via a custom HANAInspector. It works with SAP HANA Cloud, on-premise HANA, and HANA Express Edition. The dialect is production-stable, actively maintained, and covers modern Python versions (3.10\u20133.14). Note that RETURNING clauses and ARRAY types are not supported, and some type features like JSON deep indexing are limited by HANA itself.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is production-stable, actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license. Install friction is low. It is the standard way to use SAP HANA from SQLAlchemy in Python. Suitable for enterprise applications, data pipelines, and applications requiring HANA-specific features. Verify that hdbcli is available in your environment and that your Python version is 3.10 or later."},"id":"sqlalchemy-hana","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-hana","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-hana.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-hana/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-17","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlalchemy-hana","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"SQLAlchemy dialect for SAP HANA"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":690302,"position":5329,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.6.1"}
