• Key Concepts: 
  A multitenant database container (MDC) is a feature of SAP HANA that allows multiple databases to be hosted on the same physical server. It enables customers to run multiple databases on the same hardware, while still maintaining the security and isolation of each database. This allows customers to save on hardware costs and reduce complexity.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the MDC feature, customers must first install SAP HANA on their server. Once installed, they can create multiple databases within the MDC. Each database can be configured with its own security settings and access control lists. Customers can then access each database through a single connection, allowing them to manage multiple databases from one interface.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the MDC feature, it is important to ensure that each database is properly secured and isolated from the others. This can be done by setting up separate user accounts for each database and restricting access to only those users who need it. Additionally, customers should ensure that all databases are regularly backed up in case of data loss or corruption.
