Abstract

Methods and systems are described for determining candidates for a custom index in a multi-tenant database environment. In one embodiment, a method includes, capturing a query that is directed to a multi-tenant database, determining whether the captured query is a candidate for an additional filter, determining operators used by the captured query if the query is a candidate, determining data types of the database used by the captured query if the query is a candidate, determining whether there is a current filter for the operator and data types used by the captured query if the query is a candidate, selecting the captured query based on the determined operators, data types, and the determined current filters, and generating a custom index for the selected query.
