How SObject stored in Database

Rahul_kumar123Rahul_kumar123
Hi siddik s,

Generic sObject means, it can be of any persisted SFDC objects type.
For ex: Vehicle is generic type and Car, Motor Bike all are concrete types of Vehicle.
In SFDC,sObject is generic and Account, Opportunity, CustomObject__c are its concrete type.
Generic sObject abstracts the actual representation of any object assigned to it. sObject is the name of the generic abstract type that can be used to represent any persisted object type.

please check the below link for further references in trailhead module which on sobject.

Hi siddik s,

For The Above requirement, you should need to use "Schema Class" Check the below document which salesforce has provided in apex developer guide.
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_methods_system_schema.htm

Please check the below code we should use predefined methods which are provided in schema class and also check the code to retrieve object through SOQL Queries.
