UI Development Toolkit for HTML5 (SAPUI5)
SAP’s HTML5 Toolkit for building lightweight business UIs on multiple platforms
 The UI Development Toolkit for HTML5 (SAPUI5) is SAP's new
enterprise-ready HTML5 rendering library for client-side UI
rendering and programming.
 SAPUI5 is your best choice when developing enterprise ready
lightweight consumer-grade UIs for casual usage in the SAP
context (Note: Web Dynpro is best suited to heavyweight
transactional applications for expert usage).
 It targets developers at SAP and customers with Web development
skills (HTML, CSS3, JavaScript).
 It provides extensible controls and powerful theming but it is easy to
consume, based on open standards and integrates with 3rd-party
JS libraries.
 SAPUI5 applications run on a wide range of devices (smartphone,
tablet, desktop) and on multiple server platforms.

Data is stored horizontally

Building indexes and views is a huge time and resource drain
Database footprint must be dramatically expanded to make the environment
efficient for querying

Data is stored vertically – each column is stored separately
The data is the index
Retrieve only columns used in the query – reduce System I/O dramatically
Allocate a thread for each column individually – process the query in
