see this query :
Select a.Phone, a.PersonMailingStreet, a.PersonBirthdate, a.BillingCity From Account a
here fields/colums starting with Person are related to person account rest of the fields are related to Account.
Hi.
Each 'person account' has a 'shadow' contact object, witch Id can be retrieve using the PersonContactID from the account object. Thus, you can access contact fields for person accounts two ways:
1.- Querying the underlaying contact and accessing the field as you would a normal contact field
2.- Accessing the field on the account using the special prefix 'Person', ex:PersonEmail. Valid just for standard fields. FirstName, LastName and Salutation do not have this prefix.
3.- Accessing the field on the account using the special suffix __pc instead of __c. Valid just for custom fields.
