The SOQL for loops iterate over ALL the sObjects returned by a SOQL query. Here is the syntax for the for loop in SOQL:
Option 1 – (Include the SOQL in the loop definition):
for (someVariables : [soql_query]) { //Your Code }
Note: The variables above must be of the same type as the sObject that are returned by the soql_query. Here’s an example below of a simple for loop function that uses the clauses WHERE and LIKE:
String s = ‘Biswajeet Samal’; For ( Lead a : [SELECT Id, Name from Lead where Name = : (s)]) { //Your Code }
Option 2 – (Create a list of results (sObject list) first and then loop through them):
// Create a list of account records from a SOQL query Account[] accs = [SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Name = 'Biswajeet Samal']; // Loop through the list and update the Name field for(Account a : accs){ a.Name = 'Biswajeet Samal'; }
