  • Methods and Systems for Providing Secondary Indexing in a Multi-Tenant Database Environment
    Publication number: 20110264668
    Abstract: Secondary indexing mechanisms are disclosed. A first index is created in a database environment. The index has a scope defined by a set of files that meet a pre-selected criteria. Second index generation is initiated. Te second index has the same scope as the first index. A first time period between initiation of the generation of the second index and completion of the second index is determined. The second index is swapped with the first index in an atomic swap operation. The indices may be generated for a multitenant database environment. Catch up indexing may be performed for the secondary index.
