Abstract: A system may store data in a shared table of a distributed database based on generating a tenant-specific partition key. The system may receive a message from a first tenant that indicates certain data to be written to or retrieved from a shared table (e.g., shared between multiple tenants). The system may then identify a data key, a tenant identifier, and a data type identifier associated with the data and generate a partition key that includes the data key, tenant identifier, and data type identifier. The system may then transmit the partition key to the shared table, and data may be written to or retrieved from the table based on the tenant-specific partition key.

Abstract: Detection of skew in an on-demand database services environment is provided. A request is generated to scan a multitenant database for skew indicated by relationship depth exceeding an expected limit. A database crawler calculates skew for tenant identifier for a particular table in the database. Any skew that is detected is identified for later resolution.
