Abstract
In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for extending a master-detail relationship between objects. These mechanisms and methods for extending a master-detail relationship between objects can enable enhanced data usage, increased efficiency, improved user interaction, etc.
Claims21
A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for extending a master-detail relationship between objects, the method comprising:
- identifying a first and a second object within a system;
- defining a master-detail relationship between the first and second objects at a first level;
- identifying a third object within the system;
- and
- extending the master-detail relationship from the first and second objects to the third object at a second level.
A method, comprising;
- identifying a first and a second object within a system;
- defining a master-detail relationship between the first and second objects at a first level, utilizing a processor;
- identifying a third object within the system;
- and
- extending the master-detail relationship from the first and second objects to the third object at a second level.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor for:
- identifying a first and a second object within a system;
- defining a master-detail relationship between the first and second objects at a first level;
- identifying a third object within the system;
- and
- extending the master-detail relationship from the first and second objects to the third object at a second level.
A method for transmitting code for use multi-tenant database system on a transmission medium, the method comprising:
- transmitting code for identifying a first and a second object within a system;
- transmitting code for defining a master-detail relationship between the first and second objects at a first level, utilizing a processor;
- transmitting code for identifying a third object within the system;
- and
- transmitting code for extending the master-detail relationship from the first and second objects to the third object at a second level.
