SOQL&SOSL

This document compares SOQL and SOSL, two types of queries in Salesforce. SOQL is used to query data from a single object, requires specifying fields, and returns precise results. SOSL allows searching across objects, automatically includes all searchable fields, and returns ranked results based on relevance. While SOQL is better for precise data retrieval, SOSL is more suitable for broad, text-based searches across multiple objects.
