Abstract

Mechanisms and methods for sharing database content between tenants in a multi-tenant database system are provided. The ability to temporarily store metadata related to the shared data for subsequent use optimizes the data transfer process for multiple data transfers. In an embodiment, the metadata is stored for a pre-determined period of time and fetched again after the period elapses if required. The metadata may be erased from temporary storage if an administrator updates the shared data.
