HANA Modeling Guide for SAP HANA Studio vs HANA Web Workbench

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am new to HANA. I do not have experience with other SAP technologies either. But I have work experience with RDBMS like Oracle, SQL Server etc.

So I decided to start with HANA Modeling.

I found 2 Modeling guides:

http://help.sap.com/hana/SAP_HANA_Modeling_Guide_for_SAP_HANA_Studio_en.pdf

http://help.sap.com/hana/SAP_HANA_Modeling_Guide_for_SAP_HANA_Web_Workbench_en.pdf

1. Is this a good starting point for me to enter into HANA Modeling concepts?

2. What is the difference between the two documents? One is for the HANA Studio and the other one is for the Web Workbench. Are they same except

    for the developer interface?

3. Are there other books/material for me to prepare for certification? 

Thank you.

Hi Sunitha,

This sort of question has been asked over and over again here in SCN. Please search before posting question. A very naive search here brought me *lots* of results :

** EDIT **

Regarding the difference between WebIDE and Studio modeling guides: it is basically the same concept on different front-ends. As of now Studio has more flexibility than WebIDE. For instance you can't create attribute views on WebIDE while Studio allows you to use the whole modeling features stack. This will surely change over time and Web IDE will become more and more powerful.

Hi Lucas,

Appreciate your response. The main reason I posted the question was to find the difference between the two pdfs provided by SAP (that is the title of the discussion). I do not see any related existing discussion.
