Abstract: Systems and methods include establishment of a first database session with a first database user, determine first session variable values associated with the first database session, the first session variable values including a first tenant value, determine a first workload class based on the first tenant value and on zero or more of the other first session variable values, the first workload class including first parameter values specifying first resource consumption limits, and manage resource consumption of the first database session based on the first parameter values.

Abstract: A database system includes a persistent storage system, a memory storing metadata defining a tenant object and a plurality of database artifacts, a first instance of the tenant object, the first instance associated with a first plurality of the database artifacts including first data associated with the first instance of the tenant object, and a second instance of the tenant object, the second instance associated with a second plurality of the database artifacts including second data associated with the second instance of the tenant object. A processing unit is to execute program code of a database instance to cause the database system to encrypt the first data associated with the first instance of the tenant object using a first public encryption key and store the encrypted first data in the persistent storage system, and encrypt the second data associated with the second instance of the tenant object using a second public encryption key and store the encrypted second data in the persistent storage system.

Abstract: Systems and methods include creation of a first instance of a tenant object in a database instance, association of the first instance of the tenant object with a first plurality of database artifacts including first data associated with the first instance of the tenant object, creation of a second instance of the tenant object in the database instance, association of the second instance of the tenant object with a second plurality of database artifacts including second data associated with the second instance of the tenant object, and reception and response to queries on the first data associated with the first instance of the tenant object and to queries on the second data associated with the second instance of the tenant object.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for database management is provided. The method comprises: receiving, from a client device , first data to be stored in a database system that comprises first data storage configured to store a data table and a deletion history table; storing the first data in second data storage that is external to the database system and that is in communication with the database system via a network; obtaining a link that enables access, via the network, to the first data stored in the second data storage; storing the link in the data table; and performing a deletion operation of the first data, in response to a request from the client device to delete the first data from the database system, wherein the deletion operation comprises: deleting the link from the data table without deleting the first data from the second data storage; and storing the link in the deletion history table with a timestamp corresponding to a point in time when the link is deleted from the data table.
