Get Whole object through its id

I want to get all the fields of an object.

Is there any way to get the whole object? Or I need to write the full query? My object has more than 200 fields (I can write them copying and pasting, but if exists another way ...

 

 

Thanks

There is no select * here. So I'm afraid you have to write all those if you want in static query.
If you are prepared to use dynamic query then, you can fetch all the fields of the particular object by using Sobject methods and perform a string of those and then use them in the dynamic soql query.

Do you want to get the data in the fields or a query to get the names of the fields.

In the first case you would have to write the names each of the field. However, please note there is a limit to the number of characters of a query.

If you would like to get the names of the fields in the object you could use Describe calls.

Hope this helps.

I want to load an entire object.
Something like that:
Opportunity op = (Opportunity) ApexPages.StandardController stdController.getRecord();

Then, is it impossible?

Should I query all the fields which I want to obtain?

Opportunity op = [SELECT ANEG__c, Account_State__c, Activity_Performed_in_Port__c, Administrative_Contact_Email__c, Administrative_Contact_Last_Name__c, Administrative_Contact_Phone__c, Administrative_Contact_First_Name__c, Accesed_Airports__c, Commercial_Adjust__c, Technical_Adjust__c, Ampliaci_n__c, Extension__c, Anulaci_n_por_impago__c, Surname__c, Current_Insurer__c, Assistance__c, FiscalYear, Business_Contact_Email__c, Business_Contact_Last_Name__c, Business_Contact_Phone__c, Account_TIN__c, Existing__c, Campa_a_hasta__c, Campo_usuario_Lanzadera__c, Campo_usuario_URL__c, Channel__c, TotalOpportunityQuantity, Production_N_Amount__c, Portfolio_Amount__c, Principal__c, Maximum_Principal__c, Minium_Principal__c, Position__c, ForecastCategory, ForecastCategoryName, IsClosed, Cif_Cuenta_Padre__c, City__c, Ciudad__c, Codigo_ANEG_Cuenta__c, Codigo_ANEG_Filial__c, [...] FROM Opportunity

Hi,

 

This can be achieved by creating Fieldsets for that object.

 

You are having 200 fields. So, create a Fieldset for that object and drag the fields you want to query.

Now querying all those 200 fields becomes easier.

 

To create a field set follow the steps below,

  • Goto Setup>Create>Object.
  • Click on your Object name.
  • Goto Fieldset and Click on New.
  • Give name and next Drag Drop the fields you want and save.
  • Save it.

For your reference, please a take a look on the following link,
