How to retrieve data from multiple objects in one query?

Hi all,

I have six queries and i would want to retrieve the data by merging those queries into a single one . How can this be done?

retrieveUserProfile  -> SELECT Mobile_Configuration_Profile__r.Name, Mobile_Configuration_Profile__r.API_Access__c FROM UserToMobileLink__c WHERE User__c = 'userId’
 
retrieveCurrentUserDetails -> select  Languages__c, User_Sales_Org__c from User where Id = ‘userId’
 
retrieveLocaleObject -> Select Name, Translated_Text__c from Translations__c where Language__c = 'userLocale'
 
retrieveUserProfileSpecification -> select Id, Name, Tab__c ,Create__c, Delete__c,Update__c, SOQL_Data_Filter__c from Mobile_Configuration_Item__c where Mobile_Configuration_Profile__r.Name = 'profileName’ ORDER BY Id.

Hi...
Yes we can retrieve data from multiple objects in a single query using SOSl.
 for eg.
List<List<SObject>> searchList = [FIND 'SFDC' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Account(Name), Contact(FirstName,LastName)];
this query searches for accounts and contacts that have any fields with the word 'SFDC'.

Thanks Ajay..

But if you look at my queries they have nothing in common that can be specified in the the Find clause. Then how will it work?

Hi

If those queries are on different objects then you need to do seprate query..only in one case where they are related with each oither then you can do in on equery as subquery....

You can use relationship query if they have relation

Like Account is parent and conatct, opportunity lead is child let say

then you can use on equery and many child sub query like below

select id (select id from conactts) (select id from opportunites) from account...

but if there is no relation then seperate query only we need to do , we cant combined them..

Thanks,

thanks sandeep,

This means that in order to combine the queries i mentioned above there must be some relationship with atleast one object right? i.e one object A should be parent of all those tables from which am quering Right?

Thanks,

Hi,
Use SOSL when
*You don't know in which object or field the data resides and you want to find it in the most efficient way possible.
*You want to retrieve multiple objects and fields efficiently, and the objects may or may not be related to one another.
*You want to retrieve data for a particular division in an organization using the divisions feature, and you want to find it in the most efficient way possible.

Once you will install this you will get AjaxExplorer on etab in this app . Onclick of that tab it will open on editor like DataLoader,workbench .However it will allow you to built complex to complex query on click of check box .
