While SAP would like all customers to use the tools from their portfolio, many customers prefer to use other platforms. Snowflake is arguably one of the most popular choices for that. If getting the SAP tables into a different data platform would be all that is needed to start writing SQL queries and getting answers, I suspect a lot more SAP customers would move their analytics stack. Alas, it is not that easy at all. SAP&rsquo;s database design is peculiar and littered with design choices from decades long past, when saving a few bytes in storage could greatly improve the system&rsquo;s performance or reduce it&rsquo;s resource consumption.</p>
