Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for importing data into dynamic distributed databases. Embodiments of the invention include an import service that facilitates data imports without any distribution logic on a tenant. A tenant (caller) provides data in essentially any order. The import service understands the distribution of data across multiple databases and determines for any given piece of import data what database the import data is to be inserted into. Accordingly, the tenant (caller) is relieved from having to know how the data is distributed across a set (of potentially hundreds or thousands) of databases. The import service can group sets of data destined for a given database together and can use batch operations to increase efficiency.
