Abstract

Example systems and methods for cloning catalog objects are described. In one implementation, a method includes creating a copy of a catalog object without copying a data associated with the catalog object by only coping metadata associated with the object. The method further includes modifying, by one or more processors, the data associated with the catalog object independently of the copy of the catalog object such that modified data is not visible to the copy of the catalog object and wherein the modified data is not visible to the catalog object in a database. The method further includes deleting the copy of the catalog object following completion of the modification of the data associated with the catalog object.
