1. A method for controlling execution of automations that are associated with a table in a database, the method comprising:
defining respective bypass flags in the automations;
receiving one or more inputs indicating respective bypass settings for a plurality of processes for managing the table, including at least a first bypass setting for a first process and a second bypass setting, different from the first bypass setting for a second process;
initiating execution of each of the first and second processes for managing the table;
responsively to initiation of the execution of each of the first and second processes, comparing the bypass flags to each of the first and second bypass settings so as to determine whether to permit or to bypass each given automation; and
during the execution of the first and second processes, allowing the execution of the permitted automations, and preventing execution of the bypassed automations including:
during the execution of the first process, allowing the execution of a given automation having a given bypass flag that matches the first bypass setting; and
during the execution of the second process, preventing the execution of the given automation when the given bypass flag does not match the second bypass setting.
