SOQL Query Inside For Loop

I have a trigger that works fine, but I have a SOQL query within a for loop. I know this is not a good idea because of APEX governer limits but I can't figure out what the syntax will be if I move it outside of the loop. Sales_Person_On_Record__c is a user lookup field. 

 

Within the for loop I am able to use op.field_name, and I'm not sure how I would use that outside the for loop. Any help would be appreciated. 

 

trigger SalesPersonOnRecord on Opportunity (before insert, before update) {
	
	for( Opportunity op : Trigger.new ) {
		String spadName; //Sales Person Associated with Deal
		String ownerName; //Name of the Opportunity Owner
		
                spadName = [select id, name from user where id = :op.Sales_Person_Associated_with_Deal__c limit 1].name;
		
		//Get the name of the opportunity owner
		ownerName = [select id, name from user where id = :op.ownerid limit 1].name;

                //Rest of the code is excluded since I only need help with the queries
      }
}

Hi,

 

trigger SalesPersonOnRecord on Opportunity (before insert, before update) {
	Set<Id> dealId = new Set<Id>(); Set<Id> ownerId = new Set<Id>(); for( Opportunity op : Trigger.new ) { dealId.add(op.Sales_Person_Associated_with_Deal__c); ownerId.add(op.ownerid); }
		
		String spadName; //Sales Person Associated with Deal
		String ownerName; //Name of the Opportunity Owner
		
        spadName = [select id, name from user where id in: dealId limit 1].name;
		
		//Get the name of the opportunity owner
		ownerName = [select id, name from user where id in: ownerId limit 1].name;

                //Rest of the code is excluded since I only need help with the queries
     
}

You can try this

 

trigger SalesPersonOnRecord on Opportunity (before insert, before update)
{
    map<id,user> mpUser=new map<id,user>([select id,name from user]);
    for( Opportunity op : Trigger.new )
    {

             string ownerName ;       

             String spadName;

              spadName=mpUser.get|(op.Sales_Person_Associated_with_Deal__c).name;

             ownerName =mpUser.get(op.ownerid).name;

//Rest Code
    }
}

 

Think this will help you.

I think p k sharma has the correct answer to it.

 

Using the map is only correct solution to the soql in loop and hence saves from soql governing limit.
