Fetch All Fields In SOQL Query | Spring 21 New Feature

by | Jan 17, 2021 | , , , , | 3

 If you worked with SQL or any other query language before, you probably familiar with Select * from …, right? This is the way to fetch all fields from a particular table in other(mostly all) query languages. But in the Salesforce world, we were not having this feature. In SOQL, there is nothing with which we can fetch all the fields unless we specifically mention all the field names in the query.But now in Spring 21, Salesforce is bringing a function through which we can fetch all fields in SOQL Query.We have now FIELDS(ALL), FIELDS(STANDARD), and FIELDS(CUSTOM) which we can use in the SOQL query.FIELDS(ALL) – This fetches all the fields of an object. This is similar like Select * from SQL.FIELDS(STANDARD) – This fetches all standard fields of an object.FIELDS(CUSTOM) – This fetches all custom fields of an object.Here is how the query will look like -List<Contact> allConatcts = [SELECT FIELDS(ALL) FROM CONTACT LIMIT 200];In Subqueries, it will look like -List<Account> allAccounts = [ SELECT Account.Name, (SELECT FIELDS(ALL) FROM Account.Contacts LIMIT 200) FROM Account];BOUNDED AND UNBOUNDED QUERIESWhen API cannot determine the set of fields in advance, then it will consider query as Unbounded Query, other if API can determine the set of fields in advance, then it is Bounded Query. For example – The number of custom fields for an object is not pre-determined, so FIELDS(CUSTOM) and FIELDS(ALL)...

Spring 21 is bringing a couple of Apex features that can be definitely helpful. This post will cover a few of my favorite Apex features from Spring 21.You can find all my Spring 21 release posts here.Feature #1With Spring 21, we can fetch the entire custom metadata records or a single record from the custom metadata. So no more SOQL query to fetch custom metadata records. Here is the video where I have explained the feature. With getAll() method, now we can get the entire custom metadata records. Here is the small code snippetpublic static void fetchAllMetadata() {    Map<String, Country__mdt> allCountries = Country__mdt.getAll();    System.Debug(‘allCountries Size: ‘ + allCountries.size());    for(String countrName : allCountries.keySet()){        System.Debug(‘Country Name: ‘ + countryName + ‘ Capital: ‘             + allCountries.get(countrName).Capital__c);    }}With getInstance( recordId ),  getInstance( qualifiedApiName ), getInstance( developerName ) method, now we can get the single custom metadata record. Here is the small code snippetpublic static void fetchCapital(String countryName) {    Country__mdt singleCountry = Country__mdt.getInstance(countryName);    System.Debug(‘Country Name: ‘ + countryName + ‘ Capital: ‘         + singleCountry?.Capital__c);}Feature #2With Spring 21, we can now convert 18-character Id to 15-character Id. Here is the video where I have explained the feature. With to15() method, now we can get the 15-character Id of the corresponding 18-character Id. Here is the small code snippet.public static void convertId(String id_18) {    ID test18 = id_18;    System.Debug(’15 Digit ID: ‘...

Salesforce releases typically occur three times a year, in spring, summer, and winter, and are named after the season in which they are released. In this video, I am going to share how you can perform HTTP GET and POST Call from Salesforce Flow. If you can’t GET enough with HTTP Callout, now you can use the POST method to send Salesforce data to an external server in Flow Builder. This feature, now generally available, includes some changes since the Summer ’23 release. More easily integrate external data with the new PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods. Give more context about HTTP callout parameters, validate JSON samples faster, and get more information about the external service registration with more organized sections of parameters.
