Abstract
In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for sharing a single instance of a database stored using a tenant of a multi-tenant on-demand database system. These mechanisms and methods for sharing a single instance of a database stored using a tenant of a multi-tenant on-demand database system can provide a single instance of a database that is shared amongst tenants of a multi-tenant on-demand database system. The ability to provide a single instance of a database that is shared amongst tenants of a multi-tenant on-demand database system can enable the database to be managed or otherwise maintained in a central location.
Claims21
A computer program product embodied on a tangible computer readable medium, comprising:
- computer code for storing a single instance of a database using a first tenant of a multi-tenant on-demand database system;
- and
- computer code for providing access to the single instance of the database to at least one second tenant of the multi-tenant on-demand database system.
A method, comprising:
- storing a single instance of a database using a tenant of a multi-tenant on-demand database system;
- and
- providing access to the single instance of the database to at least one second tenant of the multi-tenant on-demand database system.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor for:
- storing a single instance of a database using a tenant of a multi-tenant on-demand database system;
- and
- providing access to the single instance of the database at least one second tenant of the multi-tenant on-demand database system.
A method for transmitting code, comprising:
- transmitting code to store a single instance of a database using a tenant of a multi-tenant on-demand database system;
- and
- computer code for provide access to the single instance of the database to at least one second tenant of the multi-tenant on-demand database system.
