Techniques are described herein for routing requests for database cloud services. In an embodiment, a different Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is assigned to each respective database schema of a plurality of database schemas in one or more databases. For each respective database schema, mapping data is stored that maps at least a portion of the URI to the respective database schema. In response to receiving a first request that includes a URI and a set of one or more database commands, a target database schema in a target database is identified based on the mapping data and the URI. A connection is established for accessing the target database schema in the target database. The set of one or more database commands is sent over the connection to access the target database schema in the target database.
