Abstract
Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for deleting data of an object within a multi-tenant database. Described is a mechanism for performing operations such as an efficient delete operation by introducing a new delete operation (or method) that is configured to allow a data structure such as an object to identify one or more records to be deleted. In order to ensure that the operation is efficient, the mechanism may perform a validation of the values provided to the delete operation based on the type of data store used for storing the records. For example, the validation may ensure that the values provided to the method correspond to a composite primary key when records are stored in a non-relational data store. Upon a successful validation, an initial delete request may be translated to an appropriate delete operation for the underlying database.
