Should be free
Call me naïve but if SAP really want to migrate there customers base to there SAP-Cloud
& take market share form others . Than shouldn’t the HANA DB be free if you migrate you’re MySAP, R3, SAP B1, etc to SAP Cloud?
That they ask extra for there cloud customer who still wants to use there SQL-server, DB2, Oracle .. databases I can get it.
But for me , moving to the SAP ERP in the cloud ... HANA DB should be free idem as OSX is free when you buy a Apple MAC. ( even with uprade etc )
