Is it possible to do something like this?
SELECT
Id,
'1999-01-01T23:01:01Z' for Some_New_Date_Field__c,
SystemModstamp
FROM Opportunity
Some_New_Date_Field__c has not been added to Opportunity yet, but I would like to return a literal value for this for now to unblock some downstream engineering work.
It's not possible to include a literal return value for a column in SOQL, and you also cannot set values for arbitrary property names on returned sObjects.
In Aggregate SOQL, but not non-aggregate queries like this one, you can provide a name for a value that's used in the returned List<AggregateResult>; for example, you could do
SELECT OwnerId, MAX(CloseDate) largestCloseDate FROM Opportunity GROUP BY OwnerId
and get back AggregateResult objects that have a property largestCloseDate. I don't think that helps you here.

I have a problem on the query on my test class. I have put AssetId__r.Product2Id on the 1st query, and put Product2Id in the Asset query. but still the error persist. as the error says it needs Asset.Product2 which is an SObject , not a field and I am lost on how to fix this error. does anyone encounter this error before? please I need your help.
would be easier if you'd post the actual query.
You probably have something like that in your code:
String name = myObject.AssetId__r.Product2.Name;
but the query SELECT AssetId__r.Product2Id, ... FROM MyTable WHERE ...
So what you can change is put more product fields in the query. You can go up to 5 dots "up".
SELECT AssetId__r.Product2.Id,
AssetId__r.Product2.Name,
AssetId__r.Product2.ProductCode
FROM myObject
WHERE ...
It will work and then Apex that uses it can treat AssetId__r.Product2 as a normal Product2 object, as if it was queried separately. It'll have Id, Name, ProductCode fields set.
The query is also "safe". If AssetId__c is null or Product2Id is null - it'll still execute OK. You'll have to do null checks in Apex (or in query's WHERE clause)
I have an object Contract that has a look-up to another object Indexationtype. I have another object IndexationEntry that has master-detail to Indexationtype. Now I would like to get the value of the percentage field in the IndexationEntry onto Contract based on the yer fields. The year in the IndexationEntry matches Year in Contract. How should I achieve this?
From Contract "up" to IndexationType__c, then "down" to IndexationEntry__c?
If there's no direct link between them it's not going to be pretty. One way would be something like this
SELECT Id, Name,
(SELECT Id, ContractNumber FROM Contracts__r WHERE Year__c = '2021'),
(SELECT Id, Percent__c FROM IndexationEntries__r WHERE Year__c = '2021')
FROM IndexationType__c
You'd have to run it once for each year. Or (since you tagged it Apex) maybe you can prepare the reference data a bit, query Indexation Types + Entries and build something like Map<Id, Map<Integer, IndexationEntry__c>> (1st key is by Indexation Type Id, then by year). Query them, populate the Map, then loop through your contracts and use map.get() to fetch your values.
I have a report that returns various products depending on which product group you select. Most of these products all have similar product codes that allow me to use the LIKE operator to get the required results. However, for one particular product group, I have the following problem:
VSAMPLES
VSAMPLES2016
VSAMPLES2016DD
VSAMPLESADD
VSAMPLESET
VSAMPLESLARGE
VSAMPLESLARGEADD
VSAMPLESNEW
I only need the top two products to be listed. But using 'VSAMPLES% as a parameter value will return all of these products.
Can i write an expression for the parameter value that will use 'VSAMPLES% and 'VSAMPLES2016% to only return these two products?
EDIT
The query is:
SELECT STRC_CODE, STRC_DESC FROM DeFactoUser.F_ST_Products
WHERE STRC_CODE LIKE #ProductCode
I am using LIKE so I don't have to specify dozens of products for each group.
For one Parameter value I am using 'PA.A% This works perfectly because every product starting with PA.A is needed. In the case of VSAMPLES this isn't the case.
Parameter Values are as follows:
So, can I not add a value to the Aspire tab that will return only those two products?
OK, What i was asking might not have been possible. i fixed the issue by altering my query.
SELECT STRC_CODE, STRC_STATUS, STRC_DESC FROM DeFactoUser.F_ST_Products
WHERE STRC_CODE LIKE #ProductCode AND STRC_CODE NOT IN ('VSAMPLES2016DD',
'VSAMPLESADD', 'VSAMPLESET', 'VSAMPLESLARGE', 'VSAMPLESLARGEADD',
'VSAMPLESNEW')
This results in only the two products I needed being returned when i use VSAMPLES% as a value.
Much simpler then I thought.
Thanks for the input into the question I asked.
I am looking for select custom fields of "who" object using SOQL in slaesforce:
As I am testing following SOQL, its working fine.
Select t.Who.FirstName, t.Status From Task t Where t.ActivityDate = TODAY AND t.Who.Type = 'Lead'
but while add any custom field of lead object(who object here) in select statement, as mentioned following query, its give error as
No such column 'LeadExtraInfo__c' on entity 'Name'.
even LeadExtraInfo field exist into Lead object
Select t.Who.FirstName, t.Who.LeadExtraInfo__c t.ActivityDate From Task t Where t.ActivityDate = YESTERDAY AND t.Who.Type = 'Lead'
The Who and What relationships on Task are not normal relationships -- they are polymorphic. This means that they can refer to different types of objects.
In the case of Who, it can refer to a Lead or a Contact. As such, you can only get to a limited subset of the fields in the relationship, namely the ones mentioned in this doc page.
To get to other fields on Lead, you'll have to query the Task first to get its WhoId, then query Lead where the Id equals that WhoId value to get those other fields.
I am attempting to retrieve the owner of a case, based on a partial match, where we choose the most recent case that matches the partial match.
This is the query I am attempting:
SELECT User.CustomField__c
FROM User
WHERE User.Id IN (
SELECT OwnerId
FROM Case
WHERE Case.CaseNumber LIKE '%1026'
ORDER BY Case.CreatedDate DESC LIMIT 1)
The following query works on its own, but doesn't seem happy as part of the subquery:
SELECT OwnerId
FROM Case
WHERE Case.CaseNumber LIKE '%1026'
ORDER BY Case.CreatedDate DESC LIMIT 1
Equally, if I drop the ORDER BY and LIMIT it works:
SELECT User.NVMContactWorld__NVM_Agent_Id__c
FROM User
WHERE User.Id IN (
SELECT OwnerId FROM Case
WHERE Case.CaseNumber LIKE '%1026')
Are order / limit queries not allowed in a SOQL subquery?
Just to clarify this issue, the scenario I am dealing with looks like this...
A Salesforce organisation can configure the "display format" for Case Numbers. If they select "4" digits, you get case numbers like:
0001
0125
1234
33456
It is possible to reconfigure your case numbers to get the following case numbers as well as the case numbers above...
000001
001234
033456
I didn't want people to be confused by the LIKE statement, the issue is that 001234 and 1234 are different cases, so if a customer supplies 1234 and I find two records, I want to start off assuming that they are the most recent case.
So either consider the LIKE statement or an IN statement that contains ('001234', '1234')
There is no documentation I could find that specifies that LIMIT and/or ORDER BY do not work with subqueries, but I ran into the same error you mentioned.
However, it may work to start at the Case object and look up to the User, similar to the Lookup Relationships and Outer Joins section in the SOQL documentation. I'm not sure if this would work for you, but it's something you may want to try.
Here's an example:
-- Edit --
SELECT OwnerId, Owner.CustomField__c
FROM Case WHERE
CaseNumber LIKE '%1026'
ORDER BY CreatedDate DESC
LIMIT 1
Turns out Custom Fields are not accessible because OwnerId is a polymorphic key referencing either Group or User. That means the above won't work, sorry.
To work-around this is very complicated. You would have to create a custom lookup field called "User Owner", or something. That would store a lookup reference to the User, if the Owner is a User (this can be checked by comparing the beginning of OwnerId to '005', the User ID prefix). That field would need to be populated using a after insert, after update Trigger. All values for this new field would need to be dataloaded for previously existing Cases. But, once you have this new "User Owner" field, you can access custom fields on User through SOQL, using it.
ORDER BY and LIMIT don't make sense in your subquery because you're not returning records from the subquery. Instead, the subquery just builds a list of IDs used to filter the main query.
If you use a subquery in a way that the subquery records are returned, these clauses are fine. For example, this works:
SELECT Name,
(SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Contacts ORDER BY LastName LIMIT 10)
FROM Account
I think it's worth adding that with new features of SOQL that were not available when this question was first asked and answered, that the approach of querying from Case should now be viable (with access to custom fields).
In particular the TYPEOF feature provides access to type specific fields through polymorphic lookups: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/soql_sosl/Content/sforce_api_calls_soql_select_typeof.htm
It is worth noting that this feature is still in Developer Preview.
SELECT
TYPEOF Owner
WHEN User THEN CustomField__c
END
FROM CASE
Did you try switching your query around to be something like this?
SELECT OwnerId, (select id from user)
FROM Case
WHERE Case.CaseNumber LIKE '%1026'
ORDER BY Case.CreatedDate DESC LIMIT 1
