REPORT PREVIEW CACHING TECHNIQUES IN A MULTI-TENANT DATABASE

摘要

The present invention is directed to methods and systems for rendering perceivable stimuli representative of information processing by a multi-tenant architecture that pre-fetches a portion of a subset of data on a multi-tenant architecture and emulates a result set of data in accordance with a report definition. To that end the method comprises identifying a subset of data on the multi-tenant architecture that is subject to a report definition. A portion of the subset is pre-fetched and analyzed to emulate a result. The emulated result is transmitted to a computer system of a user of the multi-tenant architecture. Perceivable stimuli is generated on the user computer system, in response to receiving the emulated result. In this manner, a user may have the perception of real-time processing of information in accordance with the report definition white affording the owner of the multi-tenant architecture flexibility to processes the data as desired while minimizing the user's awareness that real-time processing is not occurring.
