System and method for performing Unicode matching for comparing and merging similar data objects having Unicode strings that are equivalent yet not exact matches. Unicode characters are characterized by number of strokes, stroke order, radicals, geometry, phonemes in association with input method editor and keyboard characteristics such as location of a character on an IME or keyboard (or number of GUI interface interactions used in entering the character, e.g., via tapping where 'a' on a mobile device keyboard takes 1 tap of a key, 'b' takes 2 taps). These characteristics associated with code points and IME's/keyboards are utilized to create subdomains for matching and determining &#x201c;distance&#x201d; to other Unicode code points (e.g., number of keyboard keys away). Allows for determining whether close, yet incorrect data entry may have taken place. Enables merging of duplicate data objects into master data object where minor differences or spelling errors introduce actually represent duplicate data.

A system and method for on-demand indexing in a data management system is described. An index is generated when it is requested, such as when a database operation requires access to the index. If the index is loaded in memory, the index is retrieved from memory. Otherwise, the index is generated on-demand. A priority configuration identifies at least one priority index which is generated and loaded in memory. The priority configuration can identify priority indexes either directly or indirectly, such as by a threshold parameter.
