Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to updating a multi-tenant database concurrent with tenant cloning. In some embodiments, a computer system receives a request to perform an update operation on a multi-tenant database. The update operation includes updating database entries for a plurality of tenants. Responsive to receiving the request, the update operation is initiated. Performing the update operation includes accessing a list identifying database entries awaiting the updating. During the accessing of the list, the update operation holds a lock. When the lock becomes available for acquisition, a clone process is permitted to create, during performance of the update operation, a clone of a tenant's data within the database.
