Interview Questions
1.What is the difference between Trigger.new and
Trigger.old and Trigger.newmap and
Trigger.oldmap ?

Trigger.new returns new records and Trigger.old


return data before updates were done.

Trigger.newmap returns new records with id's and


Trigger.oldmap return data before updates were
done with id's.

2. Is the id of record changes if we undelete a


deleted record?

No, It has the same id.

3. What is the use of trigger.isexecuting?

Suppose we have a method in apex class and we


want this method to run only when the method is
getting called from apex trigger than we can make
use of trigger.isexecuting in apex class to check if the
method is getting called from trigger .
4. Why we cannot pass objects as arguments in
future method? Is it possible to call future
method from Batch class or another future
method?
Object data might change between the time you
call the future method and the time it actually
executes. and hence we pass record id.

No, we cannot call future method from Batch


class or another future method.
21) If downtime occurs and future method was
running what will happen?

The Future method execution will be rolled back


and will restart after downtime overs.

5. If the future method was queued before a


service maintenance what will happen?

It will remains in queue and when maintenance is


over and resources are available it will get
execute.
6. What is database.stateful interface?

Batch Apex is stateless. Each execution of a


batch Apex job is considered a discrete
transaction. If we implements
Database.Stateful we can maintained state
across transactions. Using Database.Stateful
only instance variable holds values static
members does not hold values. If we want to
count records as batch proceeds maintaining
state is important as after one transaction
new transaction will start and members will
loose their values.

in Batch Apex in Salesforce
7. Explain the types of SOQL statements in
Salesforce.
The Salesforce Object Query Language or
SOQL is employed in querying the records
from database.com as and when required.
The two types of SOQL statements are as
follows:

Static SOQL: It is written using [] (array


brackets) and is similar to IINQ (Ion
Integrated Query). It is suitable when there
are no dynamic changes in the SOQL query.
Dynamic SOQL: It is suitable for referring to
the SOQL string creation at run time with
Apex code. It allows the creation of more
flexible applications. For instance, you can
create a search based on updated records or
end-user input with varying field names.
8. What is having clause? Give the
example.

Ans- HAVING is a clause that can be used


in a SOQL query to filter results that
aggregate functions return. You can use
HAVING clause with GROUP By clause to
filter the results returned by aggregate
function,such as SUM(). HAVING clause
similar to WHERE clause. The difference is
that you can include in aggregate functions
in a HAVING Clause , but not in WHERE
Clause.

Ex- Firstly query,

[Select Id, name from Lead] → It will return


Lead record with Id and Name.

[Select Id, Name from Lead GROUP BY


name] then it will through error like Field be
grouped or aggregated: Id
[Select id, count(name) from Lead GROUP BY
name ]-- then it will also through error , you
cannot use same field name used in count
i.e-- select id, count(name) from Lead GROUP
BY name ^ ERROR at Row:1:Column:18
Grouped field should not be aggregated:
Name

[SELECT LeadSource, count(Name) FROM


Lead GROUP BY LeadSource]-- Now it will
return record With LeadSource and count
total name field correspond to particular
LeadSource.

[SELECT LeadSource, count(Name) FROM


Lead GROUP BY LeadSource HAVING
count(Name)>6]-- It will filter above group by
query and return records which count is
greate than 6.
9. Difference between with sharing and without
sharing?

Ans- "with sharing" keyword in apex class so that it


will enforce only sharing rules of current user but
not, object permissions, field level permissions

But “without sharing” will not enforce only sharing


rules of current user . does it mean it will enforce
current user object and field level permissions.

10. What are the various components of the


Salesforce dashboard?
Some important components of the Salesforce
dashboard are:
Gauge: Displays a single value from a custom
value range.
Visualforce page: Helps in forming a custom
component as a display of information
unavailable in other component types.
Metric: Shows a single pair of key–values.
Table: Displays report data in list form.
Charts: Provide comparisons and are divided into
six types: line chart, horizontal bar chart, vertical
bar chart, donut, funnel, and pie.
