In this chapter, we saw the standards to be followed while writing the SOQL statements. The best practices explained in this chapter allow us to retrieve the required records by properly filtering the data. As a developer or an administrator, we should follow these standards and best practices.

Whenever we write SOQL statements to fetch the data, we should be very careful about the limitations. The different limitations with the objects are to be considered while writing the SOQL statements to fetch data from the objects. The other limitations with OFFSET, ORDER BY, COUNT(), toLabel(), and governor limits should also be considered while writing the SOQL statements with these functions.

In the next chapter, we are going to take a look at the recommended installation guidelines to be followed while installing the tools for the SOQL statement execution. These tools will help us execute all the queries that we have discussed so far.
