In order to simulate your use case, I have created a blank query "BlankQuery" without providing query definition. When I run this query, it - essentially - returns all the objects those are available on server. Here's a snapshot of the same :
Could you please confirm if this is what you meant when you spoke about Blank Query ?
Yes, this is what I meant. The reason for the request is that in a large environment the query will use a lot of memory and the result to the end user will not be helpful.
Thanks for quick response. Now, I have couple of more questions -
1. Is the blank queries being created intentionally, for users to know count of objects present on server ?
2. If these blank queries were created by mistake - were those just lying around in system & it gets run periodically (say, monthly or weekly) that causes performance degradation for you ?
Probable solution for blank queries : We can try to introduce a warning message,specifically for blank queries, that would alert user while he/she is trying to run this query about it being blank and running it might cause system to slow down which would hamper everyone's work.
