US Patent 8930413 Dynamic structure for a multi-tenant database

Embodiments for using a dynamic structure of tables in a schema of a multi-tenant database are provided. For a tenant schema including a set of tenant tables, a label is created for a tenant table in the set of tenant tables. The label is partitioned into a set of constituent primary labels. A subset of columns is selected from the set of n columns of the tenant table, the subset of columns corresponding to a primary label in the set of constituent primary labels. The subset of columns is mapped to a table in the dynamic structure of tables in the schema of the multi-tenant database, the table in the dynamic structure of tables having the primary label. In the multi-tenant database executing in a data processing system, the dynamic structure of tables is populated with data from the tenant schema according to the mapping.
