Abstract

Techniques for maintaining a data dictionary within a computing platform that provides a multitenant environment in which multiple tenants utilizing the multitenant environment share a single instance of a database. The data dictionary is maintained with referential integrity utilizing custom database objects to provide metadata corresponding to the data dictionary. The data dictionary tracks attributes for the custom database objects utilizing natively supported field attributes and the custom database objects maintain tenant-specific information. The custom database objects are automatically updated corresponding to the data dictionary. A notification to one or more users is generated for custom database objects that correspond to the data dictionary that cannot be updated automatically, if any.
