SOQL

SOQL-ClassRoom-Notes-
1.SOQL :
a. Salesforce object Query language .
b. These are simillar to sql queries
c. Soql's are used to fetch the data from the sobjecs(Standard or Custom objects)
.
d. Using soql we can also fetch data from related objects (child or parent
records)
using relation fields
e. Soql's will return the result in the form of List<sobject> | Map<Id,Sobject>
f. Soql will return maximum of 50,000 records in a single call
syntax :
SELECT <fieldNames> from <OBJECTNAME>
[ WHERE <Conditions> ] // Optional
[ GROUP BY <Column Names> ] // Optional
[ HAVING <Conditions> ] // Optional
[ ORDER BY <Column Names> ] // Optional
[ FOR UPDATE] // Optional
[ LIMIT <NumberOfRecordsTo Return> ] // Optional
[ OFFSET <NumberOf Records to Skip> ] // Optional
[ ALL ROWS ] // Optional
2. Query : This is the statement writen to fetch the records from the database based
on the business requirement
Query Example :
1. Write a soql to fetch name,industry from Account sobject
Select id,name,Industry from Account
2. Write a soql to fetch lastname,firstname from contact

Page 1
select id,lastname,firstname from Contact
3. write a soql to fetch stagename, amount from Opportuntiy
select stageName,Amount from Opportunity
3. SOQL Queries can be executed in four formats in Apex .
1. List<Sobject> result=[query statement];
2. List<Sobject> result=Database.query(query statement);
3. Database.QueryLocator result=Databse.getQueryLocator(query statement);
4. Map<Id,Sobject> result=new Map<Id,Sobject>([query statement ]);
4. SOQl Examples using Apex :
1.Write a soql to fetch all the account records with name,Insutry fields .
List<Account> result=[select id,name,industry from Account];
2.Write a soql to Fetch all the contact records with lastname,firstname fields
List<Contact> result=[select id,lastname,firstname from Contact];
3.Write a soql query to fetch all the Opportunity records Name,StageName,closeDate
List<Opportunity> opps=[select name,stageName,closeDate from Opportunity];
4.Write a soql query to fetch all user records with lastname,firstname, profile
List<User> users=[select lastname,firstname,profile from User];
5.Write a soql query to fetch customer records with city,state,phone
List<Customer__c> result=[select City__c,State__c,Phone__c from

Customer__c];
5. How to execute the soql queries
1. Debug annonymous block
2. Query Editor in the Developer console
3. Workbench to test the query result (Recommended for the testing)

Page 2
4. With in the Apex classes and triggers code
5. Using sforce toolkit using Ajax in Visualforce pages
6. Debug Anonymous Window :
userName
|--------Developer Console
|--------Panel
|-----Debug
|-----Open Annonymous window
1. Write Query
2. Execute the query
3. See the result in the log file
7. Working with Query Editor
UserName
|--------Developer Console
|-------Expand the Console
|------select Query Editor
1. Write the query
2. Execute the query
3. From the result we can perform update, create , delete ,save ,Edit Detail
page
operation on the selected records
Note: Query editor is not for applying business logic it is used only for
manual
operatons on the result set .
8. Workbench : Workbench is a third party used to test the data or perform apex
logics
and testing webservices
1. Open the Url : https://workbench.developerforce.com/
2. Select the environment as Sandbox /production
Page 3
3. Choose the api version
3. Login with salesforce account
4 Enter the salesforce account username/password
5. Select Soql from dropdown list
6. Select the object
7. Write the query
Ex : select name,industry from Account
8.Execute
9. Soql query statements are written in two forms
1. Static query Statements
2. Dynamic query statements
10..Static Query :
a. When the field which we want to fetch
b. When the object from which the data is fetched
c. When the conditions what we are going to apply
are fixed and know to us then we make single query statement which will run
throughout the business operation are called static query
Ex : String query='select name,industry from Account'
Ex : select name,industry from Account where Industry='banking'
Ex : String accIndustry='banking';
select name ,Industry from Account where Industry=:accIndustry
11.Dynamic Soql Query :
When the fields | Sobject | Conditions change from transaction to

transaction we call it as synamic
String query='select name,Industry from Account';

Page 4
if(accIndustry== 'Energy'){
query= query+'where Industry=\'Energy\' ';
}
else{
query=query+' where phone=\'123\' ';
}
List<Account> result=Database.query(query);
====================================================================================

Examples :
====================================================================================
==
Example 1:
Write a soql to fetch name,industry ,phone from Accoutn and display it in the VF
page
Example :
public class SoqlExample1 {
public List<Account> accs {set;get;}
public SoqlExample1(){
accs=[select id,name,industry,phone from Account];

}
}
VFPage :
<apex:page controller="SoqlExample1">
<apex:form>
<apex:pageBlock title="SoqlExample">
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!accs}" var="a">
<apex:column value="{!a.name}" />
<apex:column value="{!a.industry}" />
<apex:column value="{!a.phone}" />
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
Example 2:
Page 5
Write the soql query to fetch data from opportunity object and display in the VF
page

public List<Opportunity> optyList {set;get;}
optyList=[select name,stageName,Amount,closeDate from Opportunity];
}
}
VF page :
<apex:form>
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!optyList}" var="a">
<apex:column value="{!a.stageName}" />
<apex:column value="{!a.amount}" />
<apex:column value="{!a.closeDate}" />
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
====================================================================================
===
12. Limit :
a. Limit clause is used to restrict the number of rows to be returned by the

SOQL
Query Result.
b. Limit Clause is an optional statement in SOQL Query.
c. Limit statement should be the last statement in the SOQL Query
Syntax:
Limit <Number Of Rows Returned>
Ex:
Limit 1
Limit 10
Limit 50
Ex : Write query to fetch one Account record from Account object
Account acc=[select id,name,Industry from Account limit 1];

Page 6
Ex: Fetch 5 records from Account object
List<Account> result=[select id,name,industry from Account limit 5];
Ex: Fetch 10 records from Case objects
List<Case> result=[select stageName,Priority from Case Limit 10 ];
13. Offset :
a. Offset clause is used to specify from which record result should be

returned from query result .
b. Maximum offset value is 2000
Syntax :
offsett <RowNumber>
offset 1
offset 10
offset 1000
Ex : Return all the opportunities from 5th records
List<Opportunity> oppList=[select name,StageName from opportunity offset 5];
Ex: write soql to fetch all the accounts from 10th records
List<Account> accs=[select id,name from Account Offset 10];
Note : if you taking limit and offset together we have use limit followed by offset
List<Account> accs=[select name,Industry from Account Limit 5 offset 10 ];
14.Order By :
order by clause is used to sort the result in the asscending order or

descending.
Syntax :
order by FieldName DESC| ASC

Page 7
order by Field1,Field2 DESC |ASC
Example :
Order by Name ASC;

order by Name,Industry DESC;
Ex: Write a soql to fetch all the account records in the accending order of
accountName
List<Account> accs=[select name,Industry from Account order By Name ASC];
Ex : Write a soql to fetch all the account records in the decending order of
industry
Ex: List<Account> accs=[select name,Industry from Account order by

Name,Industry
DESC ];
Ex: Write the soql to fetch last 10 opportunity records based on created
date
List<Opportuntiy> opps=[select name,stagename from Opportunity order by

CreatedDate DESC LIMIT 10];
Ex : Write a soql to fetch last 10 opportunities based on closeDate
List<Opportunity> opps=[select name,stagename from Opportuntiy order By

CloseDate
DESC LIMIT 10];
15. ALL ROWS :
All Rows clause used to fetch all the records from sobject including the
records
which are deleted in the last 15 days .
Ex:Write a soql to fetch all the records including records which are in
recylce bin from Accoutn sobject
List<Account> accs=[select id,name,Industry from Account ALL ROWS];
Ex: Write a soql to fetch all the records including recycle bin from case
List<Case> cases=[select id,stage,Priority,origin from Case ALL ROWS];

16. SOQL with Where condition
Syntax :
select fields from Sobject where condition
Single Condition :
Where fieldName <Operator> value
Mulitple Conditions :
Where fieldName <Operator> value [ and | or ] FieldName <Operator> value
Example :
Where name='satish';
where Industry='Banking' and Phone='123'
Example :
1.Write a soql to fetch all the account records whose industry is banking
Page 11
List<Account> accs= [select name,industry ,phone from Account where
industry='banking'];
2. Write a soql to fetch all the case records whose origin is email
List<Case> cases=[select stage,priority from Case where origin='Email'];
3.Write soql to fetch the all opprotunties whose stage name is 'closed won' and
amount is more than 50000
List<Opportunity> opps=[select name,stageName,Amount from Opportunity where
stageName='closed won' and amount>50000];
Comparing with variables :
where fieldName =: [variablename];
String empName='satish';
Where name=:empName;
String stage='Closed Lost';
Where stageName=: stage
====================================================================================

transactions
untill the current transaction is completed
select fields from Sobject FOR UPDATE
List<Account> accs=[select id,name from Account FOR UPDATE];

====================================================================================
Page 16

19 .LIKE :
Like clause is used to compare the string values or search for string value in the
given fields
'%' --Any
' _' : one character
LIKE ' A%' : Any string starts with A
LIKE '%sharma' : Any string that ends with sharma
LIKE '_k_r%' : Any string which contains second character as k and fourth
as r
Example :

[select lastname,firstname,phone from Contact where Lastname LIKE '%s'];
2.Write a soql query to fetch all the Opportunity records whose opportunity name
contains
'salesforce'
[select name,amount,stagename from Opportunity where name Like '%salesforce%' ]

====================================================================================

====
Parent -to-child--Soql :
If two objects are connected using a lookup or master-detail relation then we can
use
parent-to-child-soql query to fetch list of child records along with every parent.
Ex:
-----------
| |
|
Page 19
|
|
-------------
1.Parent is Standard object and child is standard object
2.Parent is Standard object and Child is custom object
3.Parent is Custom object and child is standard object
4.Parent is Custom object and child is Custom object
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Parent is Stamdard object and Child is Standard object
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax :
List<Parent> resul=[select PField1,PField2,(select CField1,CField2 from Childs) from
Parent];
Ex: Account and Contact are connected by lookup
List<Account> accs=[select name,phone,(select lastname,firstname from Contacts )

from
Account];
Ex : Account and Cases are connected by Lookup
List<Account> accs=[select name,Industry,(select origin,status from cases) from

Account];
Ex: Account and Opportunity are connected by Lookup
List<Account> accs=[select name,Industry,(select name,amount from Opportunities)

from
Account];
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Page 20
Parent is a standard object and Custom object is a child
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Syntax :
List<parent> result=[select pfield1,Pfield2,(select Cfield1,cfield2 from

ChildRelationname__r)
from Parent];
Note : At the time of creating a lookup /master -detail field We have a field called
ChildRelationName ..What ever the name we give in this box that will be used as
ChildRelationName name in soql
Ex: Account and Customer (Custom object) are connected by lookup relation with
Child relation name 'Customers' .
List<Account> result=[select name,Industry,(select LastName__c,Phone__c from

Customers__r) from Account];
Ex: Contact and Loan object are connected by Lookup relation and childRelation name
is Loans then we
List<Contact> result=[select lastname,firstname,(select security__c,Amount__c from
Loans__r ) from Contact];
Ex: Account and Loan are connected by Child Relation Name MyLoan
List<Account> result=[select name,industry,(select security__c,Amount__c from

MyLoan__r)
from Account];
Note : generally child object name will be the child relation name
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
Custom Object is the parent and standard object is the child
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 21
----
Syntax :
select pField1,Pfield2,(select cfield1,cfield2 from ChildRelationName__r) from

parent
Ex: Account has lookup relation with Customer with Customer as parent and
chilrelation
name as 'Accounts'
List<Customer__c> result=[select Name,City__c,(select name,Industry from

Accounts__r) from Customer__c];
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Custom Object as parent and Custom object as child
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
Syntax :
List<parent> result=[select pfield1,Pfield2 ,(select CField1,Cfield2 from

ChildRealtionName__r) from Parent];
Ex: CreditCard abd Payment objects are connected by Master-Detail relation with
child relation name as 'Payments'
List<CreditCard__c> result=[select Card_Type__c,Limit__c,(select Name,Amount__c from
payments__r) from CreditCard__c];

====================================================================================

Page 22
for(Account a: accs){
for(Contact c:a.contacts){
c.otherPhone=a.phone;
cons.add(c);
Scenario :2
Create a map with accountName as key and sum of corresponding child opportuntiy
amount as value of map. and insert the values.
/* AccountName is a string so key is string */

/* Sum of opportunity amount is currency so we have taken value as decimal */
Map<String,Decimal> accMap=new Map<String,Decimal>();
/* Write a parent child soql to fetch all the account records with */
/* corresponding child Opportunites */
List<Account> accs=[select id,name,(select id,amount from Opportunties) from

Child to Parent Soql query :
====================================================================================
=====
1. Child to parent Soql query
a. Relation field is created by salesforce
b. relation field is created by user
2. Realtion field is created by salesforce ( it using standard field to connect both
objectS)
Syntaxt
List<Child> result=[select ChildFIelds,RelationName.FieldName from Child];
Ex: Contact and Account are connected by using Standard Lookup field Account
List<Contact> cons=[select lastname,firstname ,Account.Name from Contact];
Ex: Customer and user object are connected by using Standard Lookup field CreatedBy
List<Customer__c> customers=[select Name__c,CreatedBy.FirstName,CreatedBy.LastName
from Customer__c];
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
3. Relation field is created by user i.e both the objects are connected by Custom
field
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
Page 24
Syntax :
List<Child> result=[select CFields,RelationName__r.ParentField from Child];
Ex : Create a Custom Lookupfield on Contact object choosing Account as parent
Field Name : MyAccount__c
List<Contact> cons=[select
Lastname,firstname,MyAccount__r.Name,MyAccount__r.Industry
from Contact];
Ex:Payment object has master-detail relation with Creditcard with the field name
CreditCard
List<Payment__c> result=[select
Mode__c,Amount__c,Creditcard__r.Type__c,CreditCard__r.Limit__c from Payment__c];
====================================================================================
===
AggregateFunctions :
1. count() : This will return the count of no of records returned in by soql
Ex : Find count how many account records are there in the sobject Account
Integer size=[select count() from Account ];
Ex: Find the count of no of Opportunities which are won in this month
Integer size=[select count() from Opportunity where stageName='closed won'

and
CloseDate=THIS_MONTH];
2. SUM(Field) : This will give you summarized value of the give field from the
QueryResult
AggregateResult result=[select sum(amount) from Opportunity];

Page 25
Decimal amount=(Decimal)result.get('expr0');
AggregateResult result=[select sum(amount)total from Opportunity];
Decimal amount=(Decimal)result.get('total');
3.AVG(field) : This will return avg value of the given field from query result
4.MIN(FieldName): This will return minimum value of the given field from query
result
5.MAX(Field Name) : This will return maximum value of the given field from query
result
Example :1
AggregateResult result=[select sum(amount)total

,AVG(Amount)avgval,MAX(Amount)maxval,
MIN(amount)minval from Opportunity];
Decimal total=(Decimal)result.get('total');
Decimal avgval=(Decimal)result.get('avgval');
Decimal maxval=(Decimal)result.get('maxval');
Decimal minval=(Decimal)result.get('minval');
System.debug('Total :'+total);
System.debug('Avg :'+avgval);
System.debug('MIN :'+minval);
System.debug('Max :'+maxval);
Group By : if we use group by clause along with Aggregate functions we get the
result as
List<AggregateResult>
: we can only query the fields which are part of aggregare result or group
by clause .
Page 26
List<AggregateResult> resList=[select stagename,sum(amount)total

,AVG(Amount) avgval,MAX(Amount)maxval,
MIN(amount)minval from Opportunity
