Using HANA with MS-Access via ODBC

$

First the background:

 

We have successfully created a lot of nice reports using an ODBC connection to HANA from MS-Access. The way we do this is by creating an Access macro (for each report) which (1) calls a stored procedure in HANA that creates a temporary table then (2) copy (transfer) that table back to MS-Access. We need a lot of detailed information as a Pricing Team - such as a complete list of various types of price records (often 100's of thousands of records). So this is not the typical drill-down, pivot-table Excel style application that most people think of with HANA.

 

IT does not particularly like us doing things this way. They keep wanting us to use Excel/Business Objects. But the Access method really is better for us - and in fact we have run into data limitations in Excel that create problems.

 

Now the question: IT has made the statement that SAP HANA "does not support" using HANA the way we are using it. I say SAP does support this or they would not have allowed us to use ODBC in the first place. IT has also intmated that a recent statisticsserver error was caused by the way we use HANA. Can anyone give me guidance on this?

 

Thanks
