Is SAP moving away from Oracle DB to HANA?

[former_member254766]

I heard that SAP has announced that it would be stopping support to use Oracle as a database and move towards in cloud memory HANA? Do anyone of you of such an announcement by SAP?

Thanks

Hi VSB,

For the end of support dates of ORACLE, you can follow note 1174136.
For the information about 12c, you can refer to note 1914631.

Dear Sagar,

You must rephrase your questions any other DB other than HANA.

17. Will SAP continue to deliver innovations to SAP Business Suite customers on anyDB?

Yes. SAP remains committed to protect our customers’ investments. We recently announced that we are extending our maintenance commitment until at least 2025. This is an unprecedented commitment to customers in the IT industry. We will also continue to deliver innovations without disruption (through enhancement packages for example) to SAP Business Suite customers on anyDB and on SAP HANA. However, transformational business and IT simplifications require a transformational platform and this is why as of today SAP S/4HANA runs only on SAP HANA. It is the logical next step for our installed base customers and the biggest step forward for 10+ years with full compatibility with SAP ERP 6.0.
