Hey

 

Yeah I think you were looking at the wrong API initially, at least you got the insert sorted out. To perform an update you'd need to fetch the data

 

UserDetail__c u = [SELECT first_name__c FROM UserDetail__c WHERE last_name__c='Smith'];

 

u.first_name__c = 'Jim';

 

update u;

 

You may also want to look into 'upsert', which is a command that intelligently decides whether to insert or update a record e.g.

 

 

UserDetail__c u;

 

 

try{

 

u = [SELECT first_name__c FROM UserDetail__c WHERE last_name__c='Smith']; //try to fetch the record

 

} catch (System.QueryException e){

 

 System.debug(e);

 

u = new UserDetail__c(last_name__c='Smith'); // no user with surname smith exists so create one

}

 

u.first_name__c = 'Jim';

 

upsert u; // if it's a new record insert it. if it's a change to a record perform update

 

Cheers,

Wes

Hi

 

I have used the following code to insert the data and it does the insert properly. Now i would like to know how to update the data.

 

UserDetail__c insertUser = new UserDetail__c();
insertUser.First_Name__c =firstName;
insertUser.Last_Name__c=lastName;
insertUser.Name =eid; 
insert insertUser;

Thanks guys, can anyone tell me what will be the code to write for enterting the record in Cases.

This is the Scenerio, I want the new case will be build and all the records which are on fields on VF page, will go into comments?
IS it possible,

Actually, its a page, where customer will enter the information and once the customer hit Submit Button, then a new case will be build and  it will insert all the record into a new case Comments field. 

Help me guys.
