Note: A SQL connection configuration can only be accessed from a SAP HANA XS JavaScript application
(.xsjs) file that is in the same package as the SQL connection configuration itself. Neither subpackages
nor sibling packages are allowed to access an SQL connection configuration.
The following example shows the composition and structure of a configuration file AdminConn.xssqlcc for an
SAP HANA XS SQL connection called AdminConn. On activation of the SQL connection configuration file
AdminConn.xssqlcc (for example, in the package sap.hana.sqlcon), an SQL connection configuration with
the name sap.hana.sqlcon::AdminConn is created, which can be referenced in your JavaScript application.
sap.hana.sqlcon:AdminConn.xssqlcc
{
}
"description" : "Admin SQL connection"
To create a preconfigured SQL connection using the configuration object AdminConn, for example, from inside
your JavaScript application code, you reference the object using the object name and full package path, as
illustrated in the following code example.
Calling the SAP HANA XS SQL-Connection Configuration File
function test() {
var body;
var conn;
$.response.status = $.net.http.OK;
try {
conn = $.db.getConnection("sap.hana.sqlcon::AdminConn");
var pStmt = conn.prepareStatement("select CURRENT_USER from
dummy");
var rs = pStmt.executeQuery();
if (rs.next()) {
body = rs.getNString(1);
}
rs.close();
pStmt.close();
} catch (e) {
body = "Error: exception caught";
$.response.status = $.net.http.BAD_REQUEST;
}
if (conn) {
conn.close();
}
$.response.setBody( body );
}
test();
To use the SQL connection from your application during runtime, you must bind the SQL connection configuration
to a database user. To maintain this user mapping, SAP HANA XS provides a dedicated application (the SQL
Connection Configuration Application), which is pre-installed and accessible under the URL http://
:/sap/hana/xs/sqlcc/. You can grant one of the following roles for users who want to use the
SQL Connection Configuration Application to view or maintain the available SQL connection configurations:
