Hi Keven,
Thanks for your advice.
Taking the T-SQL query and converting it to HANA-SQL (using the SAP tool or otherwise) will not cover anything but the most basic cases. SAP is not advocating the conversion tool as an automatic conversion tool but rather a starting point for a partially manual conversion process.
Different dialects of SQL have different capabilities and sometimes perform the same task in different ways.
The LINQ query tree must be traversed and parsed with specific HANA-SQL in mind. this is a big task that must be taken seriously with proper resources and engagement.
EF HANA support would be important to all .NET community. I would very much like to hear from SAP about their intentions.
Best,
Asher
