Using the multi-tenancy configuration tool, you can create a new tenant for a database enabled for multi-tenancy. As you are creating the tenant, you can specify a schema storage area location for each type of multi-tenant database object (table, index, or LOB field). You can also determine if access to the tenant's data should be enabled or disabled.
You can also create a new tenant from an existing tenant or from a tenant template. A tenant template defines common general and partition settings, making it easier for you to create the new tenant. For more information about working with tenant templates, see
Usingtenant templates.
