MaxDB/SapDB
===========

The `SapDB`_ database had been open-sourced and rebranded as `MaxDB`_ in version 7.4. DdlUtils supports
SapDB version 7.2 and newer, and MaxDB version 7.5, and newer. Documentation of the SQL supported by
SapDB can be found in the `SapDB Reference manual`_. Documentation for MaxDB is found in the
`MaxDB documentation`_.
