In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing a BY PARTITION command term within a multi-tenant aware structured query language within a computing environment. For instance, such an exemplary system having a processor and a memory therein includes means for operating a multi-tenant database system having customer data stored therein for a plurality of distinct customer organizations; maintaining a plurality of tables within the multi-tenant database system to store the customer data, in which one or more of the tables is partitioned into a plurality of table partitions; receiving a database query specifying a command term to restrict a specified table accessed pursuant to execution of the database query by a partition_id parameter; parsing the database query to identify the command term specified; parsing the database query to identify any part of the received database query corresponding to the specified table within the multi-tenant database system to be restricted by the partition_id parameter; generating a new structured query language statement to execute against the multi-tenant database system in fulfillment of the database query received, in which the new structured query language statement accesses only a sub-portion of the specified table corresponding to exactly one table partition of the specified table having a partition ID matching the partition_id parameter; and executing the new structured query language statement against the multi-tenant database system. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
