QRC3, the September 2026 quarterly release of SAP HANA Cloud, is live. Agents can keep memory. SQL can call SAP AI Core models.

SAP HANA Cloud Vector Engine stores memory across sessions and returns matching turns. AI_CORE_REQUEST runs a model from a SELECT.

In practice that means a query can classify a column.

If you own the platform:

1. Decide who may store memory and who may call a model.
2. Calculation-view expressions can be generated or explained in plain language.
3. Database tenants can replicate together to a paired SAP BTP region. The secondary is idle until failover.

Which tenant takes QRC3, and who tests failover?

If you want the short version of each release, follow along.
