Abstract

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for exchanging shared containers and adapting tenants in database systems. One example method includes receiving a request to deploy a new version of a database system. A deployment package is received that includes new version data. A new shared container is installed in parallel to a current shared container. The new version is deployed to each of multiple tenant containers. Each of the tenant containers is individually linked to the new shared container, including dropping at least one view in each respective tenant container to shared content in the current shared container and adding at least one view in each respective tenant container to the updated shared content in the new shared container. Changed tenant content is deployed to each tenant container. The current shared container is dropped after deployment to each of the multiple tenant containers has completed.
