Abstract

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing a web application builder framework in a database system. A database system maintains a multi-tenant non-relational database associated with a number of enterprises, a number of records, and a number of data objects for each of the enterprises. A dynamic virtual table is maintained as well, associated with the number of records and number of data objects. A user request is received to define a composite key for a data object. A metadata model is generated representing the data object, and a data definition script is generated. The dynamic virtual table is updated to include one or more virtual columns corresponding to the data definition script, and one or more columns of a shared table in the non-relational database are updated to match the virtual columns.
