A multi-tenant database is a database that serves multiple clients, or tenants, who share the same database schema but have separate data sets. One way to achieve data isolation for each client is to create a separate MySQL database for each tenant. Some advantages of this approach are: It allows for easy backup and restore of individual tenant data.
