In this blog post, I will be presenting some common Salesforce Interview questions asked by employers in the past couple of years. I have also tried to cover some real-time questions as well.
Below is the list of common Salesforce interview questions:
 
Question 1: A custom object contains some records, now my requirement is to create field in this object with master detail relationship. Can we create master detail relationship in this case?
You can not create a Master detail relationship on a object if it already has records in it. You need to follow below steps to create a Master Detail Relationship:
Step 1: Create a Lookup relationship first.
step 2: Populate the value for the parent object in all the records.
Step 3: Change the field type from Lookup relationship to Master detail.
Question 2: What is difference between Role and Profile?
Profile controls the visibility of the application. It controls what object and fields are visible to the user but profile doesn’t control what records are visible to the user. Role controls the record level access whereas Profile define the object level access.You can not create a user without assigning a profile to the user but you can create a user without assigning a role.
Question 3: What are sandboxes and different types of sandbox?
Sandboxes contain the copy of your production data. You cannot directly make changes to the production environment. In order to make any changes, you need to first test the changes on the sandboxe like a developer sandbox or a QA sandbox and then if everything looks good, you can deploy those changes to production. Sandbox is the environment used for testing and developing application.
Types of Sandboxes:
1. Developer sandbox
2. Developer Pro sandbox
3. Partial copy sandbox
4. Full sandbox
Question 4: How can you get more than 50,000 records in trigger?
If I have more than 50000 items(custom object) in salesforce.And If I want to retrieve 50000 records using the below query :
List<Item__c> itm_list = [Select id, item_name__c from Item__c];
This query will result in governor limit exception, because the maximum number of records that can be fetched by a SOQL query is 50000. So in order to resolve this issue, you can use batch apex in which you can process the records in form of batches and each batch can have records under the governor limit standards. For e.g. if you have 1000 records to process, in that case you can divide these records in 5 batches and each batch will have 200 records. Similarly you can divide 50000+ records in the form of batches and process the each batch separately. Default batch size is 200 records.
Question 5: Can we call @future method in Batch apex?
@Future method can not be called from a batch class but a webservice can call the @Future method. So from your batch class, you can call an Apex webservice and that webservice can than call the @future method. So this is the work around to call the @future method from a Batch Apex.
Question 6: What is the difference between actionFunction , actionSupport, actionRegion?
<apex:actionFunction>
This component provides support for invoking controller action methods directly from JavaScript code using an AJAX request and we can use action function from different places on visual force page.
<apex:actionSupport>
<apex:actionSupport/> Invoke the controller method using AJAX when event occurs on page like onMouseOver, onClick, etc. and we can use action support for particular single apex component.
<apex:actionRegion>An area of a Visualforce page that demarcates which components should be processed by the Force.com server when an AJAX request is made. Only the components in the body of the <apex:actionRegion> are processed by the server, thereby increasing the performance of the page.
Question 7: What is stateless and stateful in Batch apex?
Batch Apex is stateless by default. That means for each execution of your execute method, you receive a fresh copy of your object. All fields of the class are initialized, static and instance.
If your batch process needs information which needs to be shared across transactions, one approach is to make the Batch Apex class stateful by implementing the Stateful interface. By making the batch apex stateful, it instructs Force.com to preserve the values of your static and instance variables between transactions.
