The geodatabase administrator in SAP HANA is a database user named sde.
The geodatabase administrator owns and manages the following:
- The geodatabase system tables, triggers, indexes, sequences, and procedures
- The default geodatabase version
Because the geodatabase administrator owns all the geodatabase system objects, the database administrator must create the sde user account before you create the geodatabase.
Following the practice of storing only system tables in the geodatabase administrator's storage space simplifies the management of the geodatabase and makes it easier for you to delete the geodatabase from the database if you ever decide to do so.
