Schema.ChildRelationship is not showing any result

Hi All,

I want to use the below code to get all the child relationships of an object(both custom and standard):

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult R = Account.SObjectType.getDescribe();
List<Schema.ChildRelationship> C = R.getChildRelationships();

and want to get the object API name of the relationships as a list of strings. I am not able to figure out how to achive this. Could anybody please help?

Hi Biswajit, 

Try this code and let me know if this helps. This is just a sample, please make changes as per your needs 
List<String> relationshipStrings = new List<String>(); 

for (ChildRelationship relation : SObjectType.Account.getChildRelationships())

relatioshipStrings.add(relation.getRelationshipName());

Hi Anudeep,

Thank you very much for your answer. But I have tried everything. I have tried to run your code from the developer console, from workbench, and also I have embedded the code in my class. but there is no result. My requiremnt is very simple. Suppose object a and object b has lookup relation to contact. And in order to delete the contact first I need to delete object a and object b record. So by apex coding I want to find the API name of the object a and object b so that I can use it in the batch class in order to create the query. 

Any idea will be of great help. Many thanks in advance!
