  • FORMATION AND MANIPULATION OF TEST DATA IN A DATABASE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20200201745
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating a sandbox for an original tenant at a point in time, the original tenant having original tenant data stored in an immutable storage associated with an original tenant identifier, the original tenant data as of the sandbox creation point in time being a virtual snapshot of the original tenant data accessible by a sandbox tenant, where the sandbox tenant data can be changed without changing the original tenant data, and the original tenant data can be changed without changing the sandbox tenant data. A sandbox tenant is created by associating a sandbox tenant identifier with the virtual snapshot of the original tenant data and with sandbox tenant data created by the sandbox tenant subsequent to the sandbox creation point in time. In some implementations, the original tenant is an original sandbox tenant, and the sandbox tenant is at least one new sandbox tenant.
