We have to use REST API for this.

Hi Aakansha,

You cannot retrieve more than 50,000 records your SOQL calls in a single context.Batch Apex is the only answer.
However using @readonly annotation can allow you to query up to 1 Million SOQL Rows but those records will be read only and you will not be 
able to perform any DML operation on those records.You can refer the below link for batch apex.

Hello DeveloperSud,

Thanks for replying!!

I retrived data through batch apex,  bt neither I'm able to access its variable in another class nor assigning the value to the static variable of another class. You can refer to the following link: https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/ForumsMain?id=9060G000000I9BRQA0

Further I'm also trying to work through REST API, if you have any idea regarding these, please reply soon'

Thank You
