Discover what’s new in SAP HANA Cloud Q2 2026 in under 7 minutes.
Join Thomas Hammer, Lead Product Manager of SAP HANA Cloud, as he walks through the key innovations in our Q2 2026 release, including custom database object knowledge graphs, new database object discovery and data retrieval tools, knowledge graph engine innovations, larger SAP HANA Cloud database instances on AWS, deeper SAP AI Core integration, and more.
See how SAP HANA Cloud automatically creates a semantic knowledge graph from your database metadata, making it easier to discover, understand, and query enterprise data. Learn how the new Database Object Discovery and Data Retrieval tools use natural language to identify relevant data, generate SQL, and retrieve results, reducing the need for deep database expertise.
Thomas also explores the latest Knowledge Graph Engine innovations, including support for transforming knowledge graphs into property graphs and federated SPARQL queries across distributed SAP HANA Cloud environments. Together, these capabilities provide a stronger foundation for semantic search, graph analytics, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI-driven applications.
The release also introduces support for SAP HANA Cloud database instances with up to 24 TB of memory on AWS, helping organizations run larger, mission-critical in-memory workloads. In addition, deeper SAP AI Core integration brings AI-powered predictions and large language model capabilities directly into SQL workflows, making it easier to build intelligent, data-driven applications.
Finally, discover additional innovations, including the new Performance Class Advisor, automated SQL Plan Advisor enhancements, Apache Iceberg REST catalog support for lakehouse scenarios, and replication support for SAP S/4HANA CDS view entities.
