Don't have an account?
Davidvzla Dumb question about SOQL
Hello guys,
I am trying to do one of the examples in the Apex triggers where a SOQL query is used and I dont understand one of the parameters that is in line 6 which is:
06 [SELECT Id,(SELECT Id FROM Opportunities) FROM Account WHERE Id IN :Trigger.New]);
I dont understand the parameter "IN : Trigger.New])" ??,
Complete Example:
01trigger AddRelatedRecord on Account(after insert, after update) {
02 List<Opportunity> oppList = new List<Opportunity>();
03
04 // Get the related opportunities for the accounts in this trigger
05 Map<Id,Account> acctsWithOpps = new Map<Id,Account>(
06 [SELECT Id,(SELECT Id FROM Opportunities) FROM Account WHERE Id IN :Trigger.New]);
07
08 // Add an opportunity for each account if it doesn't already have one.
09 // Iterate through each account.
10 for(Account a : Trigger.New) {
11 System.debug('acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size()=' + acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size());
12 // Check if the account already has a related opportunity.
13 if (acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size() == 0) {
14 // If it doesn't, add a default opportunity
15 oppList.add(new Opportunity(Name=a.Name + ' Opportunity',
16 StageName='Prospecting',
17 CloseDate=System.today().addMonths(1),
18 AccountId=a.Id));
19 }
20 }
21
22 if (oppList.size() > 0) {
23 insert oppList;
24 }
25}
I would really appreciate if anybody can help me. Thanks.

Is your Trigger failing or are you just wondering what the "IN" statement means? The "IN" statement is basically a way of including a list of values to your WHERE clause with an implied "OR" clause. In other words, if you were performing a query like this...
SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Id = "12345" OR Id = "67890";
You could replace that with this...
SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Id IN ("12345", "67890");
Both would produce the same result.
I hope this helps.

this is very basic query (use inner query)
SELECT Id,(SELECT Id FROM Opportunities) FROM Account
here two queries in one SOQL statement. One to pull the general account data (ID), and one to pull the opportunity data (id) related list.
WHERE Id IN :Trigger.New
its mean query those record where account ID IN : Trigger.new (trigger.new - is collection of records with new values due to DML Activity )
(:) this is bind variable use for assess variable value in query.
so it simple mean get account id , related opportunity id where account Id IN trigger.New (current record in context )
i hop it helps you
mark it best answer if it helps you so it make proper solution for others
Thanks
if any issue with it you can ask here :)
I appreciate your help Jason
Trigger.New
-- Returns a list of the new versions of the sObject records. This sObject list is only available in insert, update, and undelete triggers, and the records can only be modified in before triggers.
When used in a SOQL query, the system converts this into a list of Ids.The following is from the Salesforce site.
Hope this helps!

You are correct. The "IN :Trigger.New" is specifying the inserted/updated Account Id(s).

Can someone please explain me the meaning of "acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size()"
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Priya.
get - An instance method that returns the value stored for key passed in.
a.id - is the key for which the developer is requesting the value stored in the Map-type variable.
acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id) - Is the returned value whcih is in this case an Account object.
Opportunities - List of Opportunities associted with the Account whose ID is the key for the Map object (acctsWithOpps)
size - A method that returns the number of elements in the list
In sum, acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size() returns the number of accounts associated with the account represented by a
Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot!! @Jayamaruthy
The acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id) itself returns value of the key which is a.ID, then why cant we use acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).size() ?
Can you please explain? @Jayamaruthyraman Jaganath.
acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size() - returns the number of opportunity records on a single account record.
acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).size() - should ideally retrun 1 but an error is raised as size call is made on a single account returned by the get call.
Map<Id,Account> acctsWithOpps = new Map<Id,Account>(
[SELECT Id,(SELECT Id FROM Opportunities) FROM Account]);
for(Account a : acctsWithOpps.values()) {
System.debug('acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size()=' + acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size());
System.debug('acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).size()=' + acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).size());
}
