During computer operation, it is sometimes necessary for the computer to retrieve data by performing a query. There may be situations in which multiple queries may need to be executed. In some embodiments, when multiple individual queries need to be executed, instead of executing each individual query to obtain data requested by each individual query, a single query may be generated from the individual queries. The single query encompasses all the data requests in each individual query and may therefore be referred to as a “merged query”. The merged query is then executed, and the data returned is mapped to responses for the individual queries. Technical benefits may include the reduction or elimination of duplicate data fetching, e.g. fewer query operations/data fetches, while still fetching all data requested by all of the individual queries.
