Publication number: 20120310931Abstract: Search systems and methods for searching structured data and enhancing the relevancy of search results provided to a requesting user or application. Enhanced search results are provided by searching a cache of a user's most recently used items to eliminate or reduce search indexing latency. Also, more relevant search results are provided by re-ranking results based on use history, data security models and/or hierarchical user role models.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2012Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: SALESFORCE.COM, INC.Inventors: Kevin Oliver, Scott Hansma, Craig Weissman, Paul Nakada, Jeanine Walters

Patent number: 8321405Abstract: More efficient querying of a multi-tenant database using dynamic tuning of database indices. A layer of meta-data associates data items with tenants, e.g., via tags, and the meta-data is used to optimize searches by channeling processing resources during a query to only those pieces of data bearing the relevant tenant's unique tag.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Craig Weissman, Dave Moellenhoff, Simon Wong, Paul Nakada

Publication number: 20120259839Abstract: Network security is enhanced in a multi-tenant database network environment using a query plan detection module to continually poll the database system to locate and raise an alert for suspect query plans. Security also can be enhanced using a firewall system sitting between the application servers and the client systems that records user and organization information for each client request received, compares this with information included in a response from an application server, and verifies that the response is being sent to the appropriate user. Security also can be enhanced using a client-side firewall system with logic executing on the client system that verifies whether a response from an application server is being sent to the appropriate user system by comparing user and organization id information stored at the client with similar information in the response.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2012Publication date: October 11, 2012Applicant: SALESFORCE.COM, INC.Inventors: Eric Chan, Craig Weissman, Paul Nakada, Dave Moellenhoff, Todd McKinnon

Patent number: 8131713Abstract: The present invention provides techniques for managing information on a multi-tenant database system. In one embodiment a method comprises storing the information on the database among a plurality of tables. The plurality of tables is arranged in columns and rows. Each of a subset of the plurality of tables has sets of the rows distributed amongst different storage nodes on the database. A first of the sets is located at a first node, and a second of the sets is located a second node. Data storage and retrieval capabilities are provided to the database, including access to the information, in response to requests from one of a plurality of remotely disposed computer systems. Also disclosed is a machine-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions for managing computer applications when executed by one or more processors and cause the one or more processors to carry out steps of the method.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2010Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Craig Weissman, Dave Moellenhoff, Simon Wong, Paul Nakada

Publication number: 20100274779Abstract: The present invention provides techniques for storing information on a multi-tenant database system to control query latency that includes a method that stores the information on the database among a plurality of tables arranged in columns and rows. For each of a subset of the plurality of tables, sets of the rows are distributed amongst different storage nodes on the database, with the set of rows stored at a common node having a common index value. Data storage and retrieval capabilities to the database are provided to allow access to the information, in response to requests from one of a plurality of remotely disposed computer systems. The retrieval capability includes a query condition that includes a query index value, with the query condition and the query index value being established to control retrieval latency.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2010Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: salesforce.com, Inc.Inventors: Craig Weissman, Dave Moellenhoff, Simon Wong, Paul Nakada

Publication number: 20100235837Abstract: The present invention provides techniques for managing process space on a multi-tenant database system that features a method that provides to multiple users of two or more organizations, over a network, access to information stored in a database repository shared by the two or more organizations. The database repository implements security protocols to restrict a set of first users to a first sub-portion of the information. The set of first users belongs to one of the two or more organizations. The first sub-portion of the information is different from a second sub-portion accessible by users from another organization. Access of the information by the multiple users is monitored. A first processing space for the set of first users is generated in response to the access of the database repository. The first processing space is distinct from a second processing space for the users from the other organization.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2010Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: salesforce.com, Inc.Inventors: Craig Weissman, Dave Moellenhoff, Simon Wong, Paul Nakada
