Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing predictive query interface as a cloud service

Non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor in a host organization, the instructions cause the host organization to perform operations comprising:

• exposing an interface to client devices operating remotely from the host organization, wherein the interface is accessible by the client devices via a public Internet;
• executing a predictive database at the host organization as an on-demand cloud based service for one or more subscribers;
• authenticating one of the client devices by verifying the client device is associated with one of the subscribers and based further on authentication credentials for the respective subscriber;
• receiving a request from the authenticated subscriber via the interface;
• executing a predictive query or a latent structure query against indices of the predictive database generated from a dataset of columns and rows on behalf of the authenticated subscriber, the indices representing probabilistic relationships between the rows and the columns of the dataset;
• and
• returning a predictive record set to the authenticated subscriber responsive to the request.

A system to operate within a host organization, the system comprising:

• a processor to execute instructions stored in memory of the system;
• a request interface exposed to client devices that operate remotely from the host organization, wherein the request interface is accessible by the client devices via a public Internet;
• a predictive database to execute as an on-demand cloud based service for one or more subscribers;
• an authenticator to verify client devices are associated with a subscriber and to further verify authentication credentials for the respective subscriber;
• the request interface to receive as input, a request from the subscriber;
• one or more application servers to execute a query against indices of the predictive database generated from a dataset of columns and rows on behalf of the subscriber, the indices representing probabilistic relationships between the rows and the columns of the dataset;
• and
• the request interface to further return a predictive record set to the subscriber responsive to the request.
