    Hii Sumit,
    SOQL stands for Salesforce Object Query Language. It is very similar to the widely used language SQL (Structured Query Language), to query databases. SOQL is specifically designed for Salesforce data and is used to query the Salesforce platform to retrieve data.

    SOQL stands for Salesforce Object Query Language. You can use SOQL to read information stored in your org’s database. SOQL is syntactically similar to SQL.

    Hi Sumit,
    You can use SOQL, when you have to search any record in single or multiple objects which are related.
