SOQL is a SQL-like query language used to retrieve data from Salesforce's underlying database of objects and records. Salesforce developers and administrators use it within Apex code, reports, and tools like the Developer Console to search and filter records based on field values and relationships. It supports operations similar to SQL SELECT statements but is tailored to Salesforce's object-relational data model.
