~Which of the following statement about SAP HANA are true?~
- Data is retrieved in response to structured queries through disk access.
- Data is retrieved in response to structured queries through main memory access.
- HANA enables SAP to deliver in-memory applications that were previously impossible.

(+)Data is retrieved in response to structured queries through main memory access.
(+)HANA enables SAP to deliver in-memory applications that were previously impossible.
-HANA uses traditional three-tier architecture of data, application, and presentation layers.
~Using SAP HANA, data is retrieved from main memory using a structured query and HANA is the new SAP technology that is capable of delivering in-memory responsiveness. Using SAP HANA, disk access is not required any longer to respond to a query. The three-tier architecture was used before SAP HANA came in to use. Read more in

~Which of the following advantages of column tables?~
- Elimination of materialized aggreates.
- Higher data compression rates.
- Elimination of parallel execution.
- Elimination of additional indexes.
(+)limination of materialized aggreates.
(+)Higher data compression rates.
-Elimination of parallel execution.
(+)Elimination of additional indexes.
~Using column tables, pre-aggregation is not required, data can be better compressed and additional indexes do not need to be maintained. Column tables are not a pro-requisite to perform parallel execution of queries to improve performance.

~Choose the correct answer(s).~
~BW on SAP HANA differs from BW running on other databases in the following ways:~
- Query performance increases
- Load performanse decreases
- The number of data persistency layers increases
- Flexible combination of BW data model with SAP HANA native data model
- Activation time for DataStore Objects data decreases
(+)Query perfomance increases
-Load perfomanse decreases
-The number of data persistency layers increases
(+)Flexible combination of BW data model with SAP HANA native data model
(+)Activation time for DataStore Objects data decreases
~When BW running on SAP HANA query perfomance increases, data modelling flexibility increases and the DSO activation time decreases. Load performance using SAP HANA will not decease because SAP HANA performance is optimized for data retrieval than data loading. Data persistentcy will decrease using BW on SAP HANA because the in-memory design alowws for more data to be read at query execution time instead of being stored in numerous tables until required.
