GitHub user jtakish added a comment to the discussion: SAP HANA Provider Package

Yeah you can do mostly everything with JDBC or ODBC and it all somewhat works 
but not as well as using the native connectors. HANA is always the black sheep, 
they have their own Tableau connector for example.  Using a hdbcli based hook 
removes a lot of friction and frustration. I used HANA primarily at work for a 
long time and connecting with JDBC, and ODBC especially, added a low level 
simmering layer of rage to my workday. You can eat soup with a fork but it's 
much less painful to use a spoon.

Unrelated, SAP does not recommend ODBC but you can fix the character issues by 
setting the CHAR_AS_UTF8=TRUE keyword arg on your ODBC driver.
