sap-db-command-referencelisted

Start, stop, connect, status and basic backup commands for the SAP-supported databases (HANA, Oracle, ASE/Sybase, Db2, MaxDB/liveCache, SQL Server), with Linux / Windows / AIX variants. Use whenever a task needs the DB layer: "stop the database", "connect to HANA/ASE/Oracle", "is the DB up", "restart the database before/after the SAP instances", or when sap-system-lifecycle hands off DB start/stop.

# SAP DB Command Reference `sapcontrol`/`stopsap` stop the **SAP instances but not the database** — the official SAPControl documentation states: *"The database is not stopped by these commands. You have to stop the database using database-specific tools or commands."* This skill is that database-specific layer. ## How to use 1. **Identify the DB.** Determine which database the SID runs on before doing anything: - `cat /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/<SID>_*` → look at `dbms/type` / `dbs/<db>/…`, or - environment of `<sid>adm`: `echo $dbms_type` (values: `hdb`, `ora`, `syb`, `db6`, `ada`, `mss`). 2. **Open the matching reference file** below and follow its Identify → Preview → Execute → Verify flow. 3. **Respect the guardrail contract** (see repo README): confirm SID/host/OS, classify PRD, preview before any `shutdown`/stop, execute one step at a time via the user-supplied shell/SSH MCP, verify after. ## Database reference files | DB | `dbms_type` | Reference | Status | |----|-------------|-----------|--------| | SAP ASE (Sybase) | `syb` | [references/sap-ase.md](references/sap-ase.md) | ✅ complete | | SAP HANA | `hdb` | [references/sap-hana.md](references/sap-hana.md) | ✅ complete | | Oracle Database | `ora` | [references/oracle.md](references/oracle.md) | ✅ complete | | IBM Db2 (LUW) | `db6` | [references/ibm-db2.md](references/ibm-db2.md) | ✅ complete | | SAP MaxDB / liveCache | `ada` | [references/sap-maxdb.md](references/sap-maxdb.md) | ✅ complete | | Microsoft
