I am trying to make a db query (AWS simpleDB) and want only things to return if they contain the # symbol somewhere in the email field. I am starting like this
select * from `myDomain` where email = _____
I just can't figure out what to put in that space.
I found this article which explains features and keywords of simpleDB but was unable to see anything here that could help me... http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1231
So if there are 3 items with emails 1."abc#def.com" 2. "1234" 3."asdf" then only "abc#def.com" should be returned because it contains #.
select * from myDomain where email like '%#%'

I am facing an issue using Salesforce API. While querying I am getting the following exception: "The SOQL FIELDS function must have a LIMIT of at most 200". Now, I understand SF expects a max of 200 only. So, I wanted to ask how can I query when the results are more than 200?
I can only use REST API to query, but if there is another option, then please let me know and I will try to add it in my code.
Thanks in Advance
You could chunk it, SELECT FIELDS(ALL) FROM Account ORDER BY Id LIMIT 200. Read the id of last record and in next query add WHERE Id> '001...'. but that's not very effective.
Look into "describe" calls, waste 1 call to learn names of all fields you need and explicitly list them in the query instead of relying on FIELDS(ALL). You can compose SOQL up to 20k characters long and with "bulk API" queries you could fetch up to 10k records in each API call so "investing" 1 call for describes would quickly pay off.
You could even cache the describe's result in your application and fetch fresh only if something interesting changed, there's rest API header for that: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.232.0.api_rest.meta/api_rest/sobject_describe_with_ifmodified_header.htm
Try this it is Helpful:
// Get the Map of Schema of Account SObject
Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = Account.sObjectType.getDescribe().fields.getMap();
// Get all of the fields on the object
Set<String> setFieldNames = fieldMap.keySet();
list<String> lstFieldNames = new List<String>(setFieldNames);
// Dynamic Query String.
List<Account> lstAccounts = Database.query('SELECT ' + String.join(lstFieldNames, ',') + ' FROM Account');
system.debug('lstAccounts'+lstAccounts);
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.
Is it possible to query for users, filtered by an X500 proxy address?
Using the following query which filters by an SMTP address, I can return all of my proxy addresses:
/v1.0/users/?$filter=proxyAddresses/any(x:x eq 'smtp:me#here.com')&$select=proxyAddresses
However, if I take one of the X500 addresses that was returned in the above query and try and filter by that:
/v1.0/users/?$filter=proxyAddresses/any(x:x eq 'x500:/o=ExchangeLabs/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (blahblah)/cn=Recipients/cn=trimmed')&$select=proxyAddresses
then I get a 400:
{
"error": {
"code": "Request_UnsupportedQuery",
"message": "Unsupported or invalid query filter clause specified for property 'proxyAddresses' of resource 'User'.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "adcdefg",
"date": "2019-01-01T01:01:01"
}
}
}
I've tried URL encoding the address, and also tried with and without the "X500:" scheme.
Is filtering by X500 address supported?
I am able to use X500 addresses as filters without any modification to the address from a clone of GraphExplorer. The following queries both return the correct user record
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/?$filter=proxyAddresses/any(x:x eq 'x500:/o=Company Exchange/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=UIDHere')&$select=proxyAddresses
and
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/?$filter=proxyAddresses/any(x:x eq 'X500:/o=Company Exchange/ou=External (FYDIBOHF25SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=z804261192zc46c4az4f6032z322540z')&$select=proxyAddresses
Like Lisa - this is not about parenthesis. I have Any lambda queries on proxyAddresses using X500 addresses containing parentheses that working just fine in Graph Explorer.
I suspect that the issue is actually size of the search string. I repro the error if the size of the search string is greater than 120 characters.
I'm following up with the engineering team.
In the meantime Paul, as a workaround (and excuse my lack of X500 knowledge), is there a way to query using the shortest X500 string?
Hope this helps,
As Dan Kershaw answered - this does seem to be a hard coded limit of 120 characters in the email address being filtered on.
A simple workaround is to trim the email address (including the scheme - "x500:" or "smtp:") to 120 characters, and search using a "startswith":
/v1.0/users/?$filter=proxyAddresses/any(x:startswith(x, 'x500:/o=ExchangeLabs/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (blahblah)/cn=Recipients/cn=trimmed'))&$select=proxyAddresses
This may return more than one match, so its then a case of looking through each returned user, and looking at their "proxyAddresses" collection to see which matches the original untrimmed email address that's being searched for.
I can confirm that this is still an issue as of today's date.
I'm actually using the AzureAD PowerShell cmdlets, which leverage the Graph API.
I couldn't figure out why my query was failing until I found this thread, so thanks for that.
I was getting essentially the same error message in PowerShell:
"Unsupported or invalid query filter clause specified for property 'proxyAddresses' of resource 'Group'."
When I took a substring of the first 120 characters and ran a startsWith, it worked fine.
It's a shame that this issue still hasn't been resolved.
I'm trying to get a list of domain names from email addresses using the Salesforce query language. This potentially really simple and something I would normally accomplish with split_part in postgresql, like:
SELECT split_part(Email, '#', 2)
FROM Lead
GROUP BY 1
I've been digging through the SOQL documentation and can't really find any standard string functions. However, there's this salesforce community answer: https://success.salesforce.com/answers?id=90630000000gi8EAAQ which uses LEFT, FIND and SUBSTITUTE. I tried something as simple as:
SELECT LEFT(Email, 3) FROM Lead limit 10
But get:
Error: MALFORMED_QUERY
Message: SELECT LEFT(Email, 3) FROM Lead limit 10
ERROR at Row:1:Column:17\nunexpected token: ','
Have these functions been deprecated?
I have lots of potential domain names and don't really want to query for pages and pages of every possible email address or I'll quickly hit my Salesforce API limit.
Those functions are not available in SOQL/SOSL. The link you provided refers to Custom Formula Fields. Are you trying to get the data using the UI or the API? Without knowing how you are extracting the data, the following are general suggestions:
You can create a formula field on your object called Email_Domain__c. Then, you can query or filter by that field.
You can also use custom formulas in Reports to filter your results.
Use Apex and/or Visualforce to extract/display/export the data.
Use the LIKE keyword to filter by domain name as in:
SELECT Email FROM LEAD WHERE Email LIKE '%gmail.com%'
The LIKE keyword is not efficient. https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/modules/database_basics_dotnet/units/writing_efficient_queries
I have some custom user model, and I count the number of users with name Joe:
c = UserModel.all().filter('name =', 'Joe').count()
Even though I know there is a Joe in the datastore, there is some mistake witch makes c == 0.
This is a problem I'm dealing with, however the biggest problem is that I don't know how to debug this.
I would like to get some query and visualise it somehow, so that I can understand what is there and why Joe is not there:
v = magically_visualise_contents_of(UserModel.all().filter('name =','Joe'))
handler.response.out.write(v)
Try running the query directly in the datastore viewer by GQL.
That usually helps identify minor issues, for example:
SELECT * FROM UserModel WHERE name = 'Joe'
Also, one common mistake with string matching is whitespace characters in the data, like "Joe ".
