SoqlX is an MacOS app for developers on the Salesforce.com platform. Allowing you to run queries, edit data, and do other data related tasks including:
|
Queries
From the Query tab you can execute SOQL & SOSL queries. Type the query into the top box and hit `Query`. The left column shows all your Salesforce SObjects and you can expand them out to see the fields. Double click on an object or field to build a query, or just type it in. If you execute a SOQL Relationships query the magnifying glass icon will appear in the results, double click this to expose a second table showing those particular results.
If you include the Id field in your query, then you'll get the delete checkbox option, as well as the ability to double click in a cell an edit the value.
The `recent` window will show your last 10 executed queries, click on any of them to copy the query back to the main query input.
From the File menu you can choose to save your query results as a CSV file and/or save the query itself.
Graphical schema explorer
- The central purple box shows the selected SObject. Other related SObjects appear around it.
- Use the +/- buttons to expand/contract the list of fields shown for a particular SObject. double click any SObject to make it the center focus (or select it from the SObject list on the left).
- To generate a schema report, right click on an object name from the list, once the report window has opened, you can print the report, or save it to a PDF.
Anonymous Apex
- Easily run anonymous apex and see the results.
- Code is syntax highlighted, and will highlight the line when there's a compilation error.
- Set the different logging levels and see the log output when you run the code.
History
|
| Way back when (2005ish?) DevAngel aka Dave Carroll wrote a .NET tool called Explorer which used the SOAP API to Salesforce to show information about tables & columns. It would let your write/execute SOQL queries against your Salesforce data. Around the same time I moved from Windows to OSX as my primary home desktop. Explorer was so useful, i set about writing an OSX version, called SoqlX. 16 years on, here we still are. (Dave's original Explorer seems to have been victim to too many developer.salesforce.com rebrandings) |
