Merge In Salesforce
To merge two or three records together, you need to use the merge statement.
Example
List < Account > accList = [SELECT Name FROM Account LIMIT 3];
Account a = accList[0];
Account b = accList[1];
Account c = accList[2];
List < Account > mergeList = new List < Account > ();
mergeList.add(accList[1]);
mergeList.add(accList[2]);
merge a b; // for 2 records
merge a mergeList; // for 3 recordsNote:
- Merge only works with Accounts, Leads and Contacts.
- You can merge 3 records at a time not more than that.
Different Merging Combinations:
- sObject with sObject
- sObject with List<sObject>
- sObject with ID
- sObject with List<ID>
