suggestion: Exploring data replication of SAP HANA to Snowflake using dlt


So, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to integrate SAP into the modern ecosystem?

Unfortunately, this is not that simple. Unlike modern tools, SAP does not integrate easily with non-SAP systems, and migrating data out from SAP is complicated and/or costly. This often means that ERP data stays separate from analytics data, resulting in data silos and preventing companies from making the most out of their analytics.

## Creating a dlt integration

As a first step, I decided to create a custom dlt integration to SAP’s in-memory data warehouse: SAP HANA. I chose SAP HANA since it’s an OLAP database, and our users have been specifically asking us for this connector. Plus, given its SQL backend and [Python API](https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/hana-clients-python.html), dlt should also have no problem connecting to it.
