What is the purpose of the HANA Database Explorer?

The HANA Database Explorer is primarily utilized for facilitating database management and monitoring. It serves as a graphical interface that allows database administrators and developers to interact with the HANA database efficiently. With this tool, users can execute SQL queries, manage database objects, view performance metrics, and analyze database structures and data models. This comprehensive functionality makes it an essential tool for maintaining the health and performance of the database, as well as for development purposes.

The focus of the HANA Database Explorer is on database management rather than application design, reporting, or cloud hosting which are addressed by other specialized tools and services. Therefore, its core purpose aligns directly with providing a user-friendly environment for overseeing and optimizing database operations.
