β¦ Synopsis
Software as a Service (SaaS) facilitates acquiring a huge number of small tenants by providing low service fees. To achieve low service fees, it is essential to reduce costs per tenant. For this, consolidating multiple tenants onto a single relational schema instance turned out beneficial because of low overheads per tenant and scalable manageability. This approach implements data isolation between tenants, per-tenant schema extension and further tenant-centric data management features in application logic. This is complex, disables some optimization opportunities in the RDBMS and represents a conceptual misstep with Separation of Concerns in mind.Therefore, we contribute first features of a RDBMS to support tenant-aware data management natively. We introduce tenants as first-class database objects and propose the concept of a tenant context to isolate a tenant from other tenants. We present a schema inheritance concept that allows sharing a core application schema among tenants while enabling schema extensions per tenant. Finally, we evaluate a preliminary implementation of our approach.

Today, several database applications call for the generation of random graphs. A fundamental, versatile random graph model adopted for that purpose is the ErdΕs-RΓ©nyi Ξv,p model. This model can be used for directed, undirected, and multipartite graphs, with and without self-loops; it induces algorit
