Chapter 2: Multi-tenant feature capabilities
• Dump database contents — You can dump table or group data in a text format
from the console. The console creates a text file that contains the dump data of
each table or group you specify. This file has a .d extension and is stored in the
work directory you specify. You can dump data either from a shared table, a
multi-tenant table, or both. You can also dump data from a group of tenants
sharing a table. You can use these .d files to load data into a database. The
console creates a separate contents file for each table or group you dump.
Note: You must have administrator privileges to dump table and group contents.
• Commit and monitor database updates — You can commit updates to the
database, either from an uploaded data definition file or as a result of other
changes you make.
As changes are being saved to the database, the My Dashboard page opens to
allow you to monitor the updates’ progress. The page presents a task viewlet that
shows the activity as the updates are being applied.
• Filter database connections by container — You can view all database
connections for all containers, or you can choose which container’s connections
you want to view.
• Manage domains — You can create and modify a domain for each tenant.
• Manage authentication systems — You can view, create, or delete
authentication systems.
• Establish and manage user and table security settings — While you can
create and work with users for a particular tenant, you can also create, edit, and
delete users at the database level. You can define and review table and field
security for the database users, and you can review a summary that provides
details about the database’s security. You can also configure one or more security
administrators who have control over authentication and authorization.
