There are many reasons why you should use Apex over declarative automation options, here are a couple of common answers…
>> Workflow rules and Process Builder operations sometimes have feature limitations that can be overcome with Apex. For example, pulling information from an external system.
>> When dealing with certain or large sets of data, Apex can be more efficient than declarative options due to less limitations.

Data loss in Salesforce can be caused by a number of reasons, including:
* Changing data and date-time.
* Migrating to percent, number, and currency from other data types.
* Changing from the multi-select picklist, checkbox, auto number to other types.
* Altering to multi-select picklist from any type except picklist.
* Changing to auto-number except for text.
* Changing from text-area to e-mail, phone, URL, and text.

* Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) lets us search only one object. We can query for all types of fields in SOQL. Data Manipulation Language (DML) operations can be performed on the query results.
* Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL) lets us search for multiple objects. But, in SOSL, we can query only for texts, emails, and phone numbers. Also, DML operations cannot be performed on the search results.

In Salesforce, the object relationship overview links custom object records to standard object records in a related list. This is helpful to track product defects in related customer cases. Salesforce allows users to define different types of relationships by creating custom relationship fields on an object.

Similar to the above questions, it’s important for Salesforce professionals to understand how a customer support organisation works and the different stages they go through to solve a case.
Unlike a Sales process that is split across the Lead & Opportunity objects, Service processes are contained on the case object. Here is an example of a Service process. New > Working > Waiting on Customer > Escalated > Closed.

Being a SaaS platform, Salesforce delivers updates to your system automatically. The major releases happen 3 times a year, with some other, much smaller updates being delivered in between.
The major releases are labelled, Spring, Summer & Winter, with the fiscal Salesforce year following the name, e.g. “Salesforce Winter ’22 Releaseâ€. Each release will have a huge amount of features and updates included, across most Salesforce products.
It’s important to stay alert around release time. Whilst Salesforce rarely breaks anything whilst updating your Org, it’s important to test everything and ensure that it works as expected.

An sObject is any object that can be stored in the Force.com platform database. Apex allows the use of generic sObject abstract type to represent any object.
For example, Vehicle is a generic type and Car, Motor Bike all are concrete types of Vehicle.
In SFDC, sObject is generic and Account, Opportunity, CustomObject__c are its concrete type.

A Visualforce Component is either a predefined component (standard from component library) or a custom component that determines the user interface behavior. For example, if you want to send the text captured from the Visualforce page to an object in Salesforce, then you need to make use of Visualforce components. Example: <apex:detail>

Triggers in Salesforce are called Apex triggers. These are distinct and are available specifically for common and expected actions like lead conversions. It is just a code that is executed before or after a record is inserted or updated.
A trigger is different from a workflow as the former is a piece of code; whereas, a workflow is an automated process and uses no code.

Future annotations are used to identify and execute methods asynchronously. If the method is annotated with “@futureâ€, then it will be executed only when Salesforce has the available resources.
For example, you can use it while making an asynchronous web service callout to an external service. Whereas without using the annotation, the web service callout is made from the same thread that is executing the Apex code, and no additional processing will occur until that callout is complete (synchronous processing).

Yes, we can have a roll-up summary in the case of a Master-Detail relationship but not in the case of a Lookup relationship. This is because a roll-up summary field is used to display a value in the Master record based on the values of a set of fields in the Detail record.

In a Master–Detail relationship, when a Master record is deleted, the Detail record also gets deleted, automatically.
On the other hand, in a Lookup relationship, the Child record will not be deleted, even if the Parent record is deleted.

Standard controller in Apex, inherits all the standard object properties and standard button functionality directly. It contains the same functionality and logic that are used for standard Salesforce pages.
Custom controller is an Apex class that implements all of the logic for a page without leveraging a standard controller. Custom Controllers are associated with Visualforce pages through the controller attribute.

You can expose your Apex class and methods so that external applications can access your code and your application through the REST architecture. This is done by defining your Apex class with the @RestResource annotation to expose it as a REST resource. You can then use global classes and a WebService callback method.
Invoking a custom Apex REST Web service method always uses system context. Consequently, the current user’s credentials are not used, and any user who has access to these methods can use their full power, regardless of permissions, field-level security, or sharing rules.

Depending on the profile assigned, users get access to Salesforce. One profile can be assigned to many users. Let’s consider an example scenario where the admin creates a sales profile. Now the admin has to give access to one sales profile to multiple members of the sales team.
But the admin cannot give a user access to more than one profile because sales reps should only have access to the sales profile. So two profiles cannot be assigned to one user.

There are many things that can contribute to the data loss in Salesforce. Which includes :
1. Migrating to number, per cent, and money, from other data types.
2. When you change the date and time
3. Migrating to multi-select picklist from any other type but except picklist.
4. Moving from Checkbox, auto number,multi-select picklist to any other types.
5. Changing text area to phone, URL, email, or text.

Before I mention some of the examples, let me give you an introduction to deterministic and non-deterministic formula fields. Formula fields whose value will be static are referred to as deterministic fields. Whereas, formula fields whose value will be changed dynamically or whose values will have to be calculated on the fly, they are referred to as non-deterministic formula fields. A classic example of that is a formula returning the current date and time.
Some examples of non-deterministic fields in Force.com are:
<> Lookup fields
<> Formula fields whose reference spans over other entities
<> Fields having dynamic date functions like:- TODAY() or NOW()

As mentioned in one of the previous Salesforce interview questions, a profile will ultimately control access to which records a user has in a Salesforce org. No user can work on the Salesforce org without being assigned a profile. The Profile is therefore mandatory for every user.
Role however is not mandatory for every user. The primary function of the Role/ Role hierarchy is that it allows higher level users in hierarchy get access to records owned by lower level users in the hierarchy. An example of that is Sales Managers getting access to records owned by Sales Reps while their peers do not get access to it.

Custom labels are custom text values that can be accessed from Apex classes or Visualforce pages. The values here can be translated into any language supported by Salesforce.
Their benefit is that they enable developers to create multilingual applications which automatically presents information in a user’s native language.
You can create up to 5,000 custom labels for your organization, and they can be up to 1,000 characters in length.

There are two types of custom settings in Salesforce: List Custom Settings and Hierarchy Custom Settings.
List Custom Settings are a type of custom settings that provides a reusable set of static data that can be accessed across your organization irrespective of user/ profile.
Hierarchy Custom Settings are another type of custom settings that uses built-in hierarchical logic for “personalizing†settings for specific profiles or users.
The advantage of using custom settings is that it allows developers to create a custom set of access rules for various users and profiles.

Skinny tables in Salesforce are useful in accessing the fields which are frequently used and to avoid joins. This can improve the performance of certain read-only operations such as reports, list views, etc. Skinny tables are highly effective because skinny tables will be in sync with source tables even when the source tables are modified.
You need to contact Salesforce customer support if you want to use skinny tables. You cannot create, access, or modify skinny tables yourself. For example, you need to contact Salesforce to update your skinny table definition if you want to add new fields.

The fiscal year or economical year is defined as the period of time used for calculating annual financial statements based on starting and ending date of a company’s financial year. In this period of time, whatever the amount of business that Salesforce has done can be considered as fiscal year and depicts the Salesforce revenue.
There are two types of fiscal years in Salesforce. They are:
<> Normal or standard fiscal year: It is a period that allows estimating by following the Gregorian calendar year that has a 12-month structure. Starting of the fiscal year can begin with the very first day of any month you choose belonging to a particular year. For example, for the fiscal year starting in April, the standard fiscal year is used.
<> Custom fiscal year: It is mainly defined for the companies that lay their forecast based on weekly or quarterly financial planning and can also customize the same. For example, you may have 4 quarters with 13 weeks per quarter in a 4-4-5 pattern or 13 periods per year.

* Page layouts are used to control the layout and organization of buttons, fields, Visualforce, custom links, s-controls, and related lists on object record pages.
* They are helpful in organizing user interface pages by determining which fields, related lists, and custom links are required, read-only, and visible for the user.
* We can create many page layouts and apply them to different user groups, with the aim of creating a customized experience. For example, you could have a single account record like ACME Corp., but it displays different information depending on your user profile.
* Here, you can only apply the one-page layout to a single group of users per object, per record type. For example, if you have one record type based on the Accounts object, you can apply only one-page layout per profile.
