Run-time querying of multi-tenant non-relational platform objects

A method comprising:

• maintaining a multi-tenant non-relational database associated with a plurality of enterprises, the multi-tenant non-relational database identifying a plurality of records and a plurality of data objects for each of the plurality of enterprises, the plurality of data objects each having one or more fields, the fields comprising at least one composite key field;
• receiving, during runtime of the database system, a request from a user of the database system to query data related to a data object from the plurality of data objects;
• determining, responsive to processing the request to query data, that the data object is defined to be used in association with a non-relational database;
• retrieving a metadata model of the data object, the metadata model comprising at least one field of the data object;
• determining, using the metadata model, that the request to query data includes at least one composite key field of the data object;
• processing, during runtime of the database system, the request to query data in synchronous fashion;
• and
• providing a query response to the user.

A computer program product comprising computer-readable program code capable of being executed by one or more processors when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program code comprising instructions configurable to cause:

• maintaining a multi-tenant non-relational database associated with a plurality of enterprises, the multi-tenant non-relational database identifying a plurality of records and a plurality of data objects for each of the plurality of enterprises, the plurality of data objects each having one or more fields, the fields comprising at least one composite key field;
• receiving, during runtime of the database system, a request from a user of the database system to query data related to a data object from the plurality of data objects;
• determining, responsive to processing the request to query data, that the data object is defined to be used in association with a non-relational database;
• retrieving a metadata model of the data object, the metadata model comprising at least one field of the data object;
• determining, using the metadata model, that the request to query data includes at least one composite key field of the data object;
• processing, during runtime of the database system, the request to query data in synchronous fashion;
• and
• providing a query response to the user.
