How can I find "id" of above web table, if I only know name of a particular customer. For example from the above table how can I find "CUSTOMER ID" of "THOMAS HANDY".
The code you are looking for looks similar this (Note this is written in Ruby)
if(tab['class'].include?(var))
tab is a selector variable.
var would be what you want it to have.
So something like the following...
#Logic to Loop through each table - Parameterising it as table
if(table.text.include?('Thomas Hardy'))
table['id']
end
#End of Loop Logic
Although as people have said, you're missing lots of info

I am new to SalesForce and SOQL so sorry in advance if the question has already been answered, if yes link it to me.
The aim of my SOQL query is to get all the contract information to generate PDF.
There are tables: Contract, Contact and Account
In the Contract table there are fields: Maitre_d_apprentissage__c, MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c, Apprenti__c, ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c
There are relationships:
Apprenti__r which link Apprenti__c to Contact table
Maitre_d_apprentissage__r which link Maitre_d_apprentissage__c to Contact table
When I looked at table, I saw that MaitreApprentissageNom1__c was equal to Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.LastName and ApprentiNom__c was equal to Apprenti__r.LastName. So I conclude I could get other information of Apprenti__c and Maitre_d_apprentissage__c from the Contact Table following the same principle. So I added to my query Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c and Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c to get the Date_de_naissance__c field which is in my Contact table.
I see in the results that the query succeeds in getting the information but some values have changed column (lines 6 and 7), you can see the difference between query 1 and query 2. In the first query I only return the Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c and in the second query I return Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c and Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c
Query 1:
SELECT ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c, Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c, MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c
FROM Contract
Result 1:
Query 2:
SELECT ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c, Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c, MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c, Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c
FROM Contract
Result 2:
I would like to understand from where is coming the problem and how to correct it. Thank you in advance.
It's possible that it's just your query editor displaying stuff incorrectly. You can see it got confused with 2 lookups to Contact table, why there's even a column header "Contact.Date_de_naissance__c" (and why it's there twice). And they aren't shown in the order you requested...
What editor you're using? You could try built-in "Developer Console" or http://workbench.developerforce.com/
What do you need it for? In Apex order of fields won't matter, in REST API query the values fetched via lookup will come as JSON sub-objects so there will always be a way to figure out exactly which value is coming from which relation.
In Dev Console try to run this and check if it solves your fears:
System.debug(JSON.serializePretty([SELECT
ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c,
Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c,
MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c,
Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c
FROM Contract]));
Then add Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.LastName to query and see what changed, what stayed as is.
I'm looking over some UniData fields for distinct values but I'm hoping to find a simpler way of doing it. The values aren't keys to anything so right now I'm selecting the records I'm interested in and selecting the data I need with SAVING UNIQUE. The problem is, in order to see what I have all I know to do is save it out to a savedlist and then read through the savedlist file I created.
Is there a way to see the contents of a select without running it against a file?
If you are just wanted to visually look over the data, use LIST instead of SELECT.
The general syntax of the command is something like:
LIST filename WITH [criteria] [sort] [attributes | ALL]
So let's say you have a table called questions and want to look over all the author for questions that used the tag unidata. Your query might look something like:
LIST questions WITH tag = "unidata" BY author author
Note: The second author isn't a mistake, it's the start of the list of attributes you want displayed - in this case just author, but you might want the record id as well, so you could do #ID author instead. Or just do ALL to display everything in each record.
I did BY author here as it will make spotting uniques easier, but you can also use other query features like BREAK.ON to help here as well.
I don't know why I didn't think of it at the time but I basically needed something like SQL's DISTINCT statement since I just needed to view the unique values. Replicating DISTINCT in UniData is explained here, https://forum.precisonline.com/index.php?topic=318.0.
The trick is to sort on the values using BY, get a single unique value of each using BREAK-ON, and then suppress everything except those unique values using DET-SUP.

Where can I find a reference of the Cayley database format? I find it confusing.
For example in the demo database of movie info, why do so many values start with "/en"?
Why does the following row have '/film' twice and why is there a dot at the end?
":/en/the_window" "/film/film/starring" ":53570" .
Why does Stephen Fry appear so many times?
The example cayley's database of movies is part of Freebase, so is using the freebase name convention.
The id property follow the rule:
/en - top level namespace for all human readable IDs
In the case of film/film/starring the first film is a common domain, the second one is the object and the third one is the name of the property.
You can read more at the page namespace in freebase wiki
So here is the unformatted list (this one, an income statement, has over row headers like these, so yes, automation is the way to go here).
["Revenue", "Other Revenue, Total", "Total Revenue", "Cost of Revenue, Total"...]
Here is the list after I ran each array entity (string) through my simple little sanitizer program, CleanZeeString.new.go(str).
["revenue", "other_revenue_total", "total_revenue", "cost_of_revenue_total"...]
So, I want to access Rails methods that will allow me to at least partially automate the database column creation process and migration, because this list has over 50 row headers, there are more lists, and I simply do not believe in doing things by hand anymore.
LATER (personal progress):
I'm starting to believe that a solution to this problem is going to involve getting outside of the rails "box" with regards to migrations. Yes, to solve this, I think we might have to think creatively about migrations...
I know how easy this is to do either by hand, or with the assistance of some sort of third party scripting solution, but I simply refuse. I should have been able to do this automatically last night after a couple of drinks if I wanted to. Given the array, and the fact that each column is the same type ("decimal" in rails), this should be doable in an automatic, rails-like way.
migration files are just normal ruby files. working on a solution based off that fact. time to get fancy. String#to_sym
Got it---
class CreateIncomeStatements < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
f = File.open(File.join(Rails.root, 'lib', 'assets', 'is_list.json'))
is_ary = JSON.parse(f.read)
create_table :income_statements do |t|
is_ary.each do |k|
eval("t.decimal k.to_sym")
end
t.timestamps
end
end
end
I used the eval() method, and felt the ghost of my teacher slap me on the wrist, but, it worked. The key "ah hah" was re-considering the fact that migration files are just ruby files, and as such, I can just do whatever I want.
I'm trying to write some apex code using this query and not getting anywhere:
List<Task> tasks = [SELECT id, whatid, who.account.parent.name FROM task WHERE who.account.parent.name LIKE 'Procter%'];
I'm not surprised this doesn't work, but can't seem to find documentation anywhere that explains how I would go about this. Does anyone have any idea? I'm trying to get all tasks linked to a contact linked to an account with a parent account of "procter and gamble"...
Looks like the options to "go up" in the mixed fields (the ones where Lookup goes to multiple objects like WhatId going to Account or Opportunity) are very limited. I was able to write "WHERE what.name LIKE 'Procter%' but not "WHERE what.parent.name LIKE 'Procter%'".
By the way I think it should be WhatId and not the WhoId (check out the Validation Rule editor for Tasks, try to insert fields "Contact/Lead ID" and "Opportunity/Account ID"). You will also see that you can't "go up" (or in case of this editor - "go right") on these fields while for some other fields you can explore the relation like for "CreatedBy.UserRole.Name".
Can you try this subquery instead?
[SELECT id, whatid FROM task WHERE whatid IN (SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Parent.Name LIKE 'United%')]
WhatId and WhoID are polymorphic fields, so these fields do not support traversing multiple levels.
I had a similar requirement for hierarchal traversing, in my case i had to select the lead information associated with a task. What I had to do was first query for a list of tasks, then query for a list of leads based off those tasks, then use a wrapper class to combine the two lists into a custom object and display the object accordingly using visualforce. The wrapper class was certainly my answer to the equation since it seems you are in fact unable to query directly using the Who.Id.
Hope this helps!
The AccountID field on Tasks is populated by SF automatically for Contacts. Obviously, it is blank for Leads. So, if you want to get Account data you can just do something like this:
SELECT ID, Who.FirstName, Who.LastName, Account.Parent.Name FROM Task WHERE WhoID = '00Q12SDFUUALDLKJF'
Obviously, Account.Parent.Name is blank for Leads.
