Abstract
The subject technology provides techniques for enabling hidden database objects, which in an example are utilized for testing and verifying new database objects against existing workloads. Hidden database objects are a mechanism for bridging that gap by running user workloads on user data in advance of exposing the feature to users. This mechanism allows placing a database object as a hidden object nested beneath a user's visible object (e.g., table, column, view, and the like). Hidden database objects can be used to verify the functionality, parity, performance, and correctness of new unreleased features.
