A multi-tenant table instance summarizes many of the previously defined terms.

Each multi-tenant table can have a multi-tenant table instance for each tenant. A table instance consists of object instances defined in the schema for a particular table definition.

The number of objects can grow very quickly. For example if you have 10 tenants, and have 10 multi-tenant tables defined, and each table has 3 indexes and 3 LOB fields, you will have 700 objects. That is:

10 tenants * (10 tables * (7 objects per table) ) = 700 objects. 

Configuring and maintaining the objects of a multi-tenant database is simplified with the Database Administration Console of OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer. For more information on the Database Administration Console, see Get Started with Database Multi-tenancy in OpenEdge Management.
