String ofObject = 'Account';
SOQL.of(ofObject).toList();

SELECT

with field1 - field5

with fields

SELECT

SELECT statement that specifies the fields to query. The fieldList in the SELECT statement specifies the list of one or more fields, separated by commas, that you want to retrieve.

        User.Phone,
        User.FirstName,
        User.LastName,

Using Relationship Queries

Use SOQL to query several relationship types.

For more details check SOQL.SubQuery class.

    SELECT Id, Name
    FROM Contacts

        .with(Contact.Id, Contact.Name)
    ).toList();

COUNT-QUERY

count

COUNT()

COUNT() returns the number of rows that match the filtering conditions.

Note! COUNT() must be the only element in the SELECT list, any other fields will be automatically removed.

Signature

SOQL count()

Example

SELECT COUNT()
FROM Account

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .count()
    .toInteger();

count field

Signature

count(SObjectField field)

Note! To avoid the Field must be grouped or aggregated error, any default fields will be automatically removed.

You can still specify additional fields, but they should be placed after the COUNT() function in the SELECT statement.

Example

SELECT COUNT(Id), COUNT(CampaignId)
FROM Opportunity

 SOQL.of(Opportunity.SObjectType)
    .count(Opportunity.Id)
    .count(Opportunity.CampaignId)
    .toAggregated();

count with alias

Signature

count(SObjectField field, String alias)

Note! To avoid the Field must be grouped or aggregated error, any default fields will be automatically removed.

You can still specify additional fields, but they should be placed after the COUNT() function in the SELECT statement.

Example

SELECT COUNT(Name) names FROM Account

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .count(Account.Name, 'names')
    .toAggregated();

FROM Task
USING SCOPE MINE_AND_MY_GROUPS

SOQL.of(ProcessInstanceWorkItem.SObjectType)

SELECT COUNT()
FROM Contact
ALL ROWS

SOQL.of(Contact.SObjectType)
    .count()
    .allRows()

FIELD-LEVEL SECURITY

AccessLevel Class

By default AccessLevel is set as USER_MODE.

More details you can find in here

systemMode

Execution mode in which the the object and field-level permissions of the current user are ignored, and the record sharing rules are controlled by the class sharing keywords.

Signature

SOQL systemMode()

Example

SOQL.of(Account.SObjectType)
    .systemMode()
    .toList();

stripInaccessible

USER_MODE enforces not only object and field-level security but also sharing rules (with sharing). You may encounter situations where you need object and field-level security but want to ignore sharing rules (without sharing). To achieve this, use .systemMode(), .withoutSharing() and .stripInaccessible().

Read more about stripInaccessible in advanced.

Signature

SOQL stripInaccessible()

Using the with sharing, without sharing, and inherited sharing Keywords

More details you can find in here.

withSharing

{
  "v2" : "%Test%",
  "v1" : "0013V00000WNCw4QAH"
