Querying Related Records
Get child records related to parent record
Account[] acctsWithContacts = [SELECT Name, (SELECT FirstName,LastName FROM Contacts) FROM Account WHERE Name = 'SFDC Computing']; // Get child records Contact[] cts = acctsWithContacts[0].Contacts; System.debug('Name of first associated contact: ' + cts[0].FirstName + ', ' + cts[0].LastName);
Querying Record in Batches By Using SOQL For Loops
With a SOQL for loop, you can include a SOQL query within a for loop. The results of a SOQL query can be iterated over within the loop. SOQL for loops use a different method for retrieving records—records are retrieved using efficient chunking with calls to the query and queryMore methods of the SOAP API. By using SOQL for loops, you can avoid hitting the heap size limit.
SOQL for loops iterate over all of the sObject records returned by a SOQL query. The syntax of a SOQL for loop is either:
for (variable : [soql_query]) { code_block }
OR
for (variable_list : [soql_query]) { code_block }
It is preferable to use the sObject list format of the SOQL for loop as the loop executes once for each batch of 200 sObjects. Doing so enables you to work on batches of records and perform DML operations in batch, which helps avoid reaching governor limits.
insert new Account[]{new Account(Name = 'for loop 1'), new Account(Name = 'for loop 2'), new Account(Name = 'for loop 3')}; // The sObject list format executes the for loop once per returned batch // of records Integer i=0; Integer j=0; for (Account[] tmp : [SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Name LIKE 'for loop _']) { j = tmp.size(); i++; } System.assertEquals(3, j); // The list should have contained the three accounts // named 'yyy' System.assertEquals(1, i); // Since a single batch can hold up to 200 records and, // only three records should have been returned, the // loop should have executed only once
Challenge solution that I wrote
public class ContactSearch { public static List<Contact> searchForContacts(String lastName,String postalCode){ try{ List<Contact> lstContact=[Select Id,Name from Contact where LastName =:lastName and MailingPostalCode=:postalCode]; return lstContact; } catch(Exception e){ return null; } } }
