Original Abstract Submitted

A method, a system, and computer program product for customizing settings of cloud-based software applications using an external database as a source are provided. A request to generate a new database table corresponding to a new version of a database table associated with a cloud-based system hosting a cloud-based software application is received. The request is processed to determine a content of the new database table using a data structure of the database table. A version identifier corresponding to the new database table is generated. The version identifier and the new database table are provided, to an external database for storage. A deployment, to a productive system, of the new database table, is controlled for the new database table to be used when executing the cloud-based software application.
