How to update sObject Dynamically?

Hi ,

 

When i try to update the sobject dynamically it throws me a error saying "System.SObjectException: Field Id is not editable". Can you please help on this:

 

I have used the below code to update :


Schema.SObjectType t = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('Account');
SObject sObjectAccount = t.newSObject();
sObjectAccount.put('Id', '001G000000pyDGL');
sObjectAccount.put('Name', 'Test');

Update sObjectAccount;

thanks for replying.

 

If we remove the Id it will insert the record, I want the record to update.

 

I have queried the corresponding record from Account and I have updated using this :

String query = 'Select Id From Account Where Id = \'001G000000pyDGL\'';
system.debug(query );
Sobject sObjectAccount = Database.Query(query);
sObjectAccount.put('Name', 'Test.');

You cannot edit or set ID field.


Remove sObjectAccount.put('Id', '001G000000pyDGL');

 

Cheers !!!

You don't need to query the record - you can do this:

 

Schema.SObjectType t = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('Account');
SObject sObjectAccount = t.newSObject('0013000001Ablpu');
sObjectAccount.put('Name', 'Test Update 4');
Update sObjectAccount;
