# LangChain integration for SAP HANA Cloud

## About this project

Integrates LangChain with SAP HANA Cloud to make use of vector search, knowledge graph, and further in-database capabilities as part of LLM-driven applications.

## Requirements and Setup

### Prerequisites

- **Python Environment**: Ensure you have Python 3.9 or higher installed.
- **SAP HANA Cloud**: Access to a running SAP HANA Cloud instance.


### Installation

Install the LangChain SAP HANA Cloud integration package using `pip`:

```bash
pip install -U langchain-hana
```

### Setting Up Vectorstore

The `HanaDB` class is used to connect to SAP HANA Cloud Vector Engine.

> **Important**:  You can use any embedding class that inherits from `langchain_core.embeddings.Embeddings`—**including** `HanaInternalEmbeddings`, which runs SAP HANA’s `VECTOR_EMBEDDING()` function internally. See [SAP Help](https://help.sap.com/docs/hana-cloud-database/sap-hana-cloud-sap-hana-database-vector-engine-guide/vector-embedding-function-vector?locale=en-US) for more details.

Here’s how to set up the connection and initialize the vector store:

```python
from langchain_hana import HanaDB, HanaInternalEmbeddings
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from hdbcli import dbapi

# 1) HANA-internal embedding
internal_emb = HanaInternalEmbeddings(internal_embedding_model_id="SAP_NEB.20240715")
# 2) External embedding
external_emb = OpenAIEmbeddings()

# Establish the SAP HANA Cloud connection
connection = dbapi.connect(
    address="<hostname>",
    port=3<NN>MM,
    user="<username>",
    password="<password>"
)

# Initialize the HanaDB vector store
vectorstore = HanaDB(
    connection=connection,
    embeddings=internal_emb,  # or external_emb
    table_name="<table_name>"  # Optional: Default is "EMBEDDINGS"
)

```
