Abstract

A multi-tenant environment can support field extensibility via extension tables. An in-memory, columnar database can store a core table being extended as well as the corresponding extension table. Transactional and analytical processing can be performed on the extension fields. A business-objects-based system can take advantage of the technologies to provide greater flexibility, security, and performance improvements.
