1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying a user;
associating the user with data in a shared database, the shared database being shared by multiple users having access to different subsets of the data in the shared database;
receiving a purchased dataset from the identified user, wherein the purchased dataset comprises multiple child data sets related to a particular fields of the shared database;
determining relationships between records of the purchased dataset and records of the shared database;
determining relationships between fields of the purchased dataset and fields of the shared database;
adding the purchased dataset to a delta tune associated with the slanted database based on the determined record relationships and field relationships;
storing the delta table for the identified user;
adding references to the shared, database to provide access to the delta table;
providing access to the purchased dataset stored in the delta table to the user through requests for data in the shared database;
receiving a second purchased data set from the identified user;
adding the second purchased dataset to the delta table; and
simultaneously providing access to the first and second purchased datasets through request for data in the shared database.

Abstract
Methods and systems are described for shared data sets combined with purchased data sets in an on-line services environment. In one embodiment, a method includes, identifying a user, associating the user with data in a shared database, and receiving a purchased dataset from the identified user. The method further includes adding the purchased dataset to a delta table associated with the shared database based on determined record relationships and field relationship, and providing access to the purchased dataset to the user through requests for data in the shared database.
