Abstract

A container group is created using a database deployment infrastructure (DI) administrator (HA). API privileges for the container group are granted, using the HA, to a container group administrator (GA). API privileges for a container created in the container group using the GA are granted, using the GA, to a container administrator (CA). API privileges for the container are granted, using the CA, to a container developer (CD). Schema privileges for the container are granted, using the CA, to a container consumer (CC). API privileges for the container group are revoked, using the HA, from the GA. The container group is dropped using the HA.

Claims (69)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

creating a container group using a database deployment infrastructure (DDI) administrator (DDIA), wherein the DDI is a service layer of a database, and wherein the container group comprises application programming interfaces (APIs) for performing administrative management tasks on an exclusive set of containers within the container group and isolates access to the exclusive set of containers from other container groups;

granting, using the DDIA, API privileges for the container group to a container group administrator (GA);

granting, using the GA, API privileges to a container administrator (CA) for a container created in the container group using the GA;

granting, using the CA, API privileges for the container to a container developer (CD);

granting, using the CA, schema privileges for the container to a container consumer (CC);

revoking, using the DDIA, the API privileges for the container group from the GA; and

dropping, using the DDIA, the container group.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

configuring, using the CA, container parameters for the container; and

configuring, using the CA, container libraries for the container.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

writing, using the CD, files to the container; and

making, using the CD, objects in the container.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

accessing, using the CC, data from objects in the container; and

executing, using the CC, functions or procedures in the container.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

revoking, using the CA, the schema privileges for the container from the CC; and

revoking, using the CA, the API privileges for the container from the CD.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising revoking, using the GA, the API privileges for the container from the CA.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising dropping, using the GA, the container.

8. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:

creating a container group using a database deployment infrastructure (DDI) administrator (DDIA), wherein the DDI is a service layer of a database, and wherein the container group comprises application programming interfaces (APIs) for performing administrative management tasks on an exclusive set of containers within the container group and isolates access to the exclusive set of containers from other container groups;

granting, using the DDIA, API privileges for the container group to a container group administrator (GA);

granting, using the GA, API privileges to a container administrator (CA) for a container created in the container group using the GA;

granting, using the CA, API privileges for the container to a container developer (CD);

granting, using the CA, schema privileges for the container to a container consumer (CC);

revoking, using the DDIA, the API privileges for the container group from the GA; and

dropping, using the DDIA, the container group.

9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to:

configure, using the CA, container parameters for the container; and

configure, using the CA, container libraries for the container.

10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to:

write, using the CD, files to the container; and

make, using the CD, objects in the container.

11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to:

access, using the CC, data from objects in the container; and

execute, using the CC, functions or procedures in the container.

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to:

revoke, using the CA, the schema privileges for the container from the CC; and

revoke, using the CA, the API privileges for the container from the CD.

13. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to revoke, using the GA, the API privileges for the container from the CA.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to drop, using the GA, the container.

15. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

a computer memory; and

a hardware processor interoperably coupled using the computer memory and configured to perform operations comprising:

creating a container group using a database deployment infrastructure (DDI) administrator (DDIA), wherein the DDI is a service layer of a database, and wherein the container group comprises application programming interfaces (APIs) for performing administrative management tasks on an exclusive set of containers within the container group and isolates access to the exclusive set of containers from other container groups;

granting, using the DDIA, API privileges for the container group to a container group administrator (GA);

granting, using the GA, API privileges to a container administrator (CA) for a container created in the container group using the GA;

granting, using the CA, API privileges for the container to a container developer (CD);

granting, using the CA, schema privileges for the container to a container consumer (CC);

revoking, using the DDIA, the API privileges for the container group from the GA; and

dropping, using the DDIA, the container group.

16. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , further comprising one or more instructions to:

configure, using the CA, container parameters for the container; and

configure, using the CA, container libraries for the container.

17. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , further configured to:

write, using the CD, files to the container; and

make, using the CD, objects in the container.

18. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , further configured to:

access, using the CC, data from objects in the container; and

execute, using the CC, functions or procedures in the container.

19. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , further configured to:

revoke, using the CA, the schema privileges for the container from the CC; and

revoke, using the CA, the API privileges for the container from the CD.

20. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , further configured to:

revoke, using the GA, the API privileges for the container from the CA; and

drop, using the GA, the container.
