• Key Concepts: 
  Data sink is a term used in SAP HANA to refer to a target table or view that receives data from a source table or view. It is used to store the data that is transferred from the source table or view. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Data sinks are used in SAP HANA to transfer data from one table or view to another. This can be done by creating a data flow between the source and target tables or views. The data flow will define the transformation rules that will be applied to the data as it is transferred from the source to the target. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a data flow, it is important to ensure that the transformation rules are properly defined so that the data is correctly transferred from the source to the target. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the target table or view has enough space to store all of the data that will be transferred from the source.
