Field Types and their Comparators

The following sections describe the field types and their allowed comparators in the COQL query with an example each.

Text, Picklist
=, !=, like(used for starts_with, ends_with, contains), not like(used for not_contains), in, not in, is null, is not null.

Note

The % wildcard can be used with the like operator to achieve functionalities similar to the contains, starts_with, and ends_with operators. For instance, '%tech' queries for field values ending with 'tech', 'C%' queries for values starting with 'C', and '%tech%' translates to contains 'tech'.

Please note that for the Not Like operator, it only works if you give '%' at both ends (not contains). Using '%' only at the beginning (not starting with) or at the end (not ending with) doesn't work.

The valid cases are:

like "%tech" - ends with 'tech'
like "%tech%" - contains 'tech'
like "tech%" - starts with 'tech'
not like "%tech%" - does not contain 'tech'

Sample Input

Copied{
 "select_query" : "select Last_Name, First_Name, Full_Name, Lead_Source, Languages_Known
                  from Contacts 
                 where (((Last_Name = 'Boyle') and (Lead_Source = Advertisement)) and Languages_Known = 'English;German') limit 2"
}

Response JSON Keys

First_Namestring
Represents the first name of the contact.
Last_Namestring
Represents the last name of the contact.
Full_Namestring
Represents the full name of the contact.
idstring
Represents the unique ID of the contact.
Languages_KnownJSON array
Represents the values selected in the multi-select picklist.
Lead_Sourcestring
Represents the value selected in the picklist.

Lookup
=, !=, in, not in, is null, is not null.
Note: When you query a lookup field, the response only contains the ID of the field. To get the name of the field, you must include the field_API_name in the query.

Sample Input

Copied{
 "select_query": "select Last_Name, First_Name, Full_Name, Account_Name
                  from Contacts
                  where (((Last_Name = 'Boyle') and (First_Name is not null)) and (Account_Name.Account_Name = 'Zylker'))
                  limit 2"
}

In this query, the join is established through the lookup field Account_Name in the Contacts module.

Response JSON Keys

Account_Name.Account_Namestring
Here, Account_Name returns the ID of the account and Account_Name.Account_Name returns the account name of the account that the contact is associated with.

Note

Encrypted numeric fields support =, !=, is null and is not null.
Encrypted non-numeric fields support only is null and is not null.

Sample query With two relations (joins)

select Last_Name, Account_Name.Parent_Account, Account_Name.Parent_Account.Account_Name from Contacts where Last_Name is not null and Account_Name.Parent_Account.Account_Name is not null

In this query, two joins are established using the lookup field Account_Name in the Contacts module and another lookup field Parent_Account in the Accounts module.

Sample Input

Copied{
 "select_query" : "select Last_Name, Account_Name.Parent_Account, Account_Name.Parent_Account.Account_Name
                  from Contacts
                  where Last_Name is not null and Account_Name.Parent_Account.Account_Name is not null"
}

Response JSON Keys

Account_Name.Parent_Account.Account_Namestring
Here, the relation Account_Name.Parent_Account returns the ID of the parent account of the account associated with the contact. The relation Account_Name.Parent_Account.Account_Name returns the name of the parent account of the account associated with the contact.

Note

You can only use Select query in COQL to fetch records from a module.
You can only use two relations(joins) in a select query. If you include more than two relations, the system validates only the last two relations.
By default, system sorts the records in ascending order based on the record ID, if you do not include order by in the query.
The default value for OFFSET is 0 i.e., the system does not skip fetching any record.
Refer COQL Limitations for more details.
The value of the fields with sensitive health data will be retrieved only when Restrict Data access through API option in the compliance settings is disabled. If the option is enabled, the value will be null. Refer to HIPAA compliance for more details.

What_Id support
=, !=, in, not in, is null, is not null.
The What_Id support applicable only for Tasks, Calls, and Events. While using What_Id to retrieve records in COQL, the associated record may be one of several different types of records. For example, the What_Id field of a Task may be a Lead or a Contact.

Sample Input

Copied{
    "select_query": "select 'What_Id->Leads.Last_Name' from Tasks where 'What_Id->Leads.id' = '4150868000004479013'"
}

Response JSON Keys

What_Id->Leads.Last_NameString
Represents last name of the Lead for whom the activity (Task, Call, Event) was created.

Resolution: You can fetch only a maximum of 200 records and 50 fields in a single API call.
LIMIT_EXCEEDEDHTTP 400
The query has more than two joins.
Example: ""select_query" : "select Account_Name.Account_Name, Account_Name.Parent_Account.Account_Name, Vendor_Name.Vendor_Name from Contacts where Lead_Source = Advertisement"
Resolution: You can only have a maximum of two joins in a select query.
LIMIT_EXCEEDEDHTTP 400
You have specified more than 50 values for the "in" or "not in" comparators of the select query.
Resolution: You can specify only a maximum of 50 values for the "in" or "not in" comparators.

Resolution: Provide a valid field API name.
INVALID_QUERYHTTP 400
The query contains unsupported data type.
Example: "select Last_Name, Contacts from Leads where Last_Name is not null"
Here, Contacts is a multi-select lookup field and not supported in COQL.
Resolution: Provide field API names with valid data type.

Here, the expected data type for No_of_Employees is a number, whereas the value given is a string.
Resolution: Provide the values of the select column corresponding to its data type.
INVALID_QUERYHTTP 400
What_Id references should refer the single module in the query.

INVALID_QUERYHTTP 400
The query contains an invalid operator.
Example: "select_query" : "select Last_Name from Leads where Last_Name is not null and Last_Name >= 'adfkahfd'" Resolution: Use only those operators that are accepted by the respective fields.
OAUTH_SCOPE_MISMATCHHTTP 401
User does not have the required scope to access the module.
Resolution: Contact your administrator to obtain the required permission.
DUPLICATE_DATAHTTP 400

Here, the query contains Full_Name twice.
Resolution: Ensure that there are no duplicate select columns in the query.
