Learning Objectives
After completing this unit, you'll be able to:
- Describe the relationship between sObjects and Salesforce records.
- Create and modify an sObject in Apex.
What Is an sObject?
Every record in Salesforce maps to an sObject in Apex. An Account variable holds one account record; its fields are properties you read and set, like acct.Name.
Account acct = new Account(Name = 'Valley Health Partners', Phone = '(602) 555-0100');Note
Creating an sObject in memory doesn't save it. You save it with DML, covered next.
