What would you find in a package?

In the context of HANA, a package serves as a container that can hold multiple development objects, including information views. Information views are pivotal in HANA as they allow developers to create semantic layers on top of stored data, enabling easier analysis and visualization.

These packages help organize related development objects in a structured manner, making it easier for developers to manage and access their work. Information views consist of different types of views such as attribute views, analytical views, and calculation views that facilitate data retrieval and manipulation.

While indexes, analytic privileges, and procedures are also important elements within HANA’s ecosystem, they are not typically found within a package. Instead, indexes are associated with tables to optimize data access, analytic privileges define a user’s access rights for data security, and procedures are standalone database objects that encapsulate business logic but are not specifically categorized within a package like information views are. Thus, the presence of information views distinctly identifies the primary content you would find in a package.
