trigger.newMap.keySet()


Hi,

What is the significance of-   trigger.newMap.keySet()?

Opportunity i=[select ownerid, id,Owner.manager.email,Owner.manager.name from opportunity where id=:trigger.newMap.keySet()];

Thanks 
Kaity

Hi,

In trigger if you try to call trigger.newMap.keySet() on update event or after insert it will return Id of records which is going to process.

In trigger if you try to call trigger.newMap.keySet() on before insert then it will return null.

Trigger.newMap = a map of all records in your trigger. The key used in the map is the record ID, and the value is the record itself.
More info: http://www.sfdc99.com/2014/01/12/introduction-maps/

.keySet() is a method used on maps that returns all the keys of the map. Since the key in the map above is the record ID, you are returned a set of all IDs in your map.
