Hey James,
I just realized we haven’t discussed how to query SF data in any of our SF/Skuid trainings, and you might want to do so while I’m out this week (or you may just be curious about how it works). We can discuss this more in person if you want, but there are a couple of things to know about querying in Salesforce (spoiler alert: prepare to be sad).
Overview
-
Salesforce’s custom implementation of SQL is called SOQL – Salesforce Object Query Language.
-
It takes everything you love about SQL, throws 75% of it out the window and then burns the rest, leaving you with the sad, charred remnants of a once beautiful thing.
