Hi

I would like to know which technique is better for supporting multi-tenancy=
 applications, going upto hundreds or even thousands of tenants.

1 - One database with difference schemas (one schema per tenant)
or
2 - One database per tenant.

The points to be considered are:

1 - which is more light weight from resources point of view.
2 - which is easier for backup/restore
3 - Which is better from security p.o.v

It is possible that this question has been asked before. Is there a  link t=
o earlier posts on the subject.

Thanks.
