Salesforce Governor Limits

Salesforce Governor Limits


Since Apex runs in a multitenant environment, the Apex run time engine strictly enforces a number of limits to ensure that runaway Apex does not monopolize shared resources. These limits, or governors, track and enforce the statistics outlined in the following table. If some Apex code ever exceeds a limit, the associated governor issues a run time exception that cannot be handled.

SOQL and SOSL Limits

Feature	Limit	Limit Description
SOQL statements	Maximum length of SOQL statements	By default, SOQL statements cannot exceed 20,000 characters in length.
SOSL statements	Maximum length of SOSL statements	The SOSL statement character limit is tied to the SOQL statement character limit defined for your organization. By default, SOQL and SOSL queries cannot exceed 20,000 characters.
SOSL search query strings	Maximum length ofSearchQuerystring	If the SearchQuery string is longer than 10,000 characters, no result rows are returned. If SearchQuery is longer than 4,000 characters, any logical operators are removed. For example, the ANDoperator in a statement with aSearchQuery that’s 4,001 characters will default to the OR operator, which could return more results than expected.
SOSL query results	Maximum number of rows returned	2,000 results total (API version 28.0 and later), unless you specify custom limits in the query. Previous API versions return 200 results.
Relationship queries	Relationship query limits	·         No more than 35 child-to-parent relationships can be specified in a query. A custom object allows up to 25 relationships, so you can reference all the child-to-parent relationships for a custom object in one query. ·         No more than 20 parent-to-child relationships can be specified in a query. ·         In each specified relationship, no more than five levels can be specified in a child-to-parent relationship. For example,Contact.Account.Owner.FirstName(three levels). ·         In each specified relationship, only one level of parent-to-child relationship can be specified in a query. For example, if the FROM clause specifies Account, the SELECT clause can specify only the Contact or other objects at that level. It could not specify a child object of Contact.
FOR VIEW and FOR REFERENCE	MaximumRecentlyViewedrecords allowed	The RecentlyViewed object is updated every time the logged-in user views or references a record. It is also updated when records are retrieved using the FOR VIEW or FOR REFERENCE clause in a SOQL query. To ensure that the most recent data is available, RecentlyViewed data is periodically truncated down to 200 records per object.
OFFSET clause	Maximum number of rows skipped by OFFSET	·he maximum offset is 2,000 rows. Requesting an offset greater than 2,000 will result in aNUMBER_OUTSIDE_VALID_RANGE error.
ORDER BY clause in SOQL statement	ORDER BY fields limit	32 fields

Metadata Limits

The following are limits for deploying and retrieving metadata. These limits apply to the Force.com IDE, the Force.com Migration Tool, and the Metadata API.

Metadata Limit	Limit Description
Retrieving and deploying metadata	Metadata API can deploy and retrieve up to 5,000 filesor 400 MB at one time. While a specific file size limit is not enforced, you might encounter out-of-memory errors for very large files.
Change sets	Inbound and outbound change sets can have up to5,000 files of metadata.
