Background documentationDatabase Administration Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

As an administrator of a SAP MaxDB database, you must carry out certain administration tasks on a regular basis. Backups are one example of such a task. Many administration tasks can be automated. Certain events may lead to additional administration tasks, for example a database restore after a hardware failure.

The following tools are available for managing databases:

  • Database Studio

    From version 7.7 onwards, Database Studio replaces the database tools Database Manager GUI, SQL Studio, and Synchronization Manager and also offers additional functions (such as a GUI for the Loader program).

  • Database Manager CLI (command line tool)

  • CCMS (only in SAP systems)

Note Note

The documentation for the SAP MaxDB database system also generally applies to SAP liveCache databases. Differences are indicated in the documentation where necessary.
