Now to avoid this you should follow best practices for writing and designing Apex Code. One best practices is to Avoid SOQL Queries or DML statements inside FOR Loops because if will write query inside for loop then after every 100 iterartion the limits will hit and you will get an error 101 stating "Too many SOQL queries: 101".

Resolve the "Too many SOQL queries: 101" error
To fix the issue, change your code so that the number of SOQL fired is less than 100. If you need to change the context, you can use @future annotation which will run the code asynchronously.

What's wrong with soql queries 101?

What I've noticed more than anything else is the "Too many SOQL queries:101" error. It seems to stem most often from conflicts between process builder workflows and apex classes/triggers currently in production. The issue is that I did not personally write any of these classes or triggers and the error messages don't exactly give a clear solution.

How do I raise the soql limit in Salesforce?

You can make a support request to get the 2M limit raised and then use tools like this SOQL Extractor and Analyzer for Salesforce (awkward to get installed though - see its "Support" information for a workaround) to help review the logs.

For example : SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Name = 'XYZ'. So basically whenever you write a query in Salesforce it is counted under SOQL.

How to fix soql fired is less than 100?

To fix the issue, you'll need to change your code in such a way that SOQL fired is less than 100. If you need to change the context then you can use @future annotation which will run the code asynchronously.

How do I improve SOQL performance?

The performance of the SOQL query improves when two or more filters used in the WHERE clause meet the mentioned conditions. The selectivity threshold is 10% of the records for the first million records and less than 5% of the records after the first million records, up to a maximum of 333,000 records.

How do I get more than 50k records in SOQL?

You cannot retrieve more than 50,000 records your SOQL calls in a single context. However, with Batch Apex your logic will be processed in chunks of anywhere from 1 to 200 records in a batch. You'd need to modify your business logic to take the batching into account if necessary.

What is the SOQL limit?

LIMIT is an optional clause that can be added to a SELECT statement of a SOQL query to specify the maximum number of rows to return. The syntax for LIMIT is: SELECT fieldList FROM objectType [WHERE conditionExpression] [LIMIT numberOfRows] For example: SELECT Name FROM Account WHERE Industry = 'Media' LIMIT 125.

How many records can I query in SOQL?

50,000The total number of records that can be returned by SOQL queries in a request is 50,000. If returning a large set of queries causes you to exceed your heap limit, then a SOQL query for loop must be used instead.

What is offset in SOQL?

When expecting many records in a query's results, you can display the results in multiple pages by using the OFFSET clause on a SOQL query. For example, you can use OFFSET to display records 51–75 and then jump to displaying records 301–350. Using OFFSET is an efficient way to handle large results sets.

What happens when Governor limits are exceeded?

Because Apex runs in a multitenant environment, the Apex runtime engine strictly enforces limits so that runaway Apex code or processes don't monopolize shared resources. If some Apex code exceeds a limit, the associated governor issues a runtime exception that can't be handled.

Will inner queries in SOQL be counted against Governor limits?

In a SOQL query with parent-child relationship subqueries, each parent-child relationship counts as an extra query. These types of queries have a governor limit of three times the number for top-level queries. The row counts from these relationship queries contribute to the row counts of the overall code execution.
