Hi Sindhu,

You can use something like this to fetch the parent field info using child SOQL:
[select Job_Application_r.Id from review__c];

Make sure you specify the correct relationship API name for Job_Application_c lookup field on review__c object.

Hi Sindhu,

If Job_Application__c is the child Object and Review__c is the parent object then
 
List<Job_Application__c> jaList = [Select Id, Name, Review__c, Review__r.Name from Job_Application__c];

If Review__c is the child Object and Job_Application__c is the parent object then
List<Review__c> rList = [Select Id, Name, Job_Application__c, Job_Application__r.Name from Review__c];

Hi Sindhu,

Please follow the below explanation and examples to solve your problem ☁️⚡️

1. Child To Parent Relationship :

Consider Contact (Child) and Account (Parent) relationship.

In the child to parent relationship, relationship name will be a parent object which means a foreign key is an Account object.
#1 Example :
SELECT Contact.FirstName, Contact.Account.Name From Contact

#2 Example : Write a query to fetch list of Contact and Account names from contact object where Account.Industry = 'Media'
SELECT Id, Name, Account.Name FROM Contact WHERE Account.Industry='Media'

NOTE: When we use relationship name to the custom objects in the SOQL query. We should append ObjectName__r to the relationship name.

For Example :
List<child__c> ch = [SELECT Id, Name, parent__r.FirstName, parent__r.LastName__c from child__c WHERE age__c < 25];

NOTE: When you are writing a query from child to parent relationship always a relation will be master-detail field name (or) lookup field name.

For Example: 
Write a query to fetch a list of the transaction along with Account type and customer names whose transaction type is a deposit. (NOTE: Master-Detail field in the transaction is customer details__c).
List<transaction__c> tr = [SELECT Id, CustomerDetails__r.CName__c, customerDetails__r.AccountType__c, Name FROM Transaction__c];

So these are the ways you can use the child to parent relationship query efficiently.
