For few tenants, you can keep identical tables in several schemas and
set "search_path" to select a tenant.

With many tenants, you are better off with one table that holds the
data for all clients.  You can use Row Level Security to have each
tenant see only his or her data, and it might be a good idea to
use list partitioning on the tenant ID.
