Re: [hibernate-dev] multi-tenancy and ConnectionProvider

For info, I like #2 the best ConnectionOptions can deal in the future with: - schema based diff - user based diff ala Oracle VPD interface ConnectionOptions { TenantType getTenantType(); String getDefaultSchema(); String getUser() //is that how VPD filters out? ..some more techniques later } enum TenantType { NONE, SCHEMA, USER } With getTenantType, a ConnectionProvider can return the right connection or yell if it does not support it. We could also imagine asking the ConnectionProvider to return the array of supported tenantTypes so that we can raise the exception at startup time.
