Creating Efficient Queries

When you’re working with large volumes of data, it’s important to build efficient SOQL queries, reports, and list views, which all depend on selectivity and indexes. The Lightning Platform query optimizer determines filter condition selectivity for a SOQL query, report, or list view.

Determine the Selectivity of Your Filter Condition

To better understand selectivity, let’s use an example. You build a SOQL query, report, or list view for the Opportunity object, one of the largest objects in your org. You have a filter condition, for example, a WHERE clause that fetches only the rows you want from the object.

Determine the Selectivity of More Complex Filter Conditions

Using GROUP BY ROLLUP in a query similar to the previous example makes it easy to get the necessary statistics to evaluate the selectivity of various conditions.

Understand the Impact of Deleted Records on Selectivity

When gathering selectivity statistics, you can incorporate or exclude deleted records using the Boolean field, IsDeleted. This field is available in every standard and custom object.
