SAP did not create Hana in-memory database. They wrote a check to buy it. I don'...

They did create it. Who do you think they bought it from?

It came out of the TREX project, that is an SAP project.

Wrong.

Hana came from a company founded in 2000 by Sang Cha, a Stanford University professor, that spent 5 years developing this and was acquired by SAP in November 2005. This acquisition then formed the basis of SAP R&D Korea.

I stand corrected. Thank you!
