Summary

You've now designed database tables, deployed them into an SAP HANA Cloud database instance, and loaded data into them using the Database Explorer.

Questions for Discussion

1. We loaded data into the tables using the import feature of the Database Explorer. Is anyone familiar with alternatives to this to get initial data into your new tables?
