Multi-Tenant Databases for Software as a Service: Schema-Mapping Techniques

Summary: Chunk Folding for multi-tenant DBs: vertically partition tenant schemas into chunks folded into Chunk Tables and joined as needed. Hot data to conventional tables; remainder mapped to Chunk Tables to fit schemas, with testbed results showing efficiency. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
