com Database
The Force.com database, now known as Salesforce Platform, is a cloud-based database that stores
customer data and relationships between them. It is one of the powerful and acts as a intuitive data
persistence layer baked into all aspects of platform.
The Force.com database not only acts as a persistence layer but also it generates user interface for
creating, updating and displaying records. Non-technical users who don’t know coding can also
create, configure and deploy persistent objects using the point-n-click, form-based interface in the
Setup environment.
Salesforce.com takes a slightly different approach with their database layer. Instead of coming from
a pure database perspective, the Force.com database takes a more abstract approach and represents
everything as objects. Traditional database like Oracle, SQL, MySQL has tables and columns where
Force.com database is composed with objects and fields.
The persistence layer accepts structured data objects (SDOs) which are transformed (mediated) into
objects called physical SDOs. Physical SDOs are stored in the data service layer. All persistence-
specific assets, such as SQL queries, are isolated within the data service layer.
Database structure
The Salesforce database is based on Oracle and uses tables, indexes, and queries to store data.
Salesforce calls tables "objects," rows "records," and columns "fields".
Object relationships
Salesforce uses two main types of object relationships: lookup and master-detail. These
relationships allow objects to share information and create complex data webs.
Database features
The Salesforce database has self-securing and self-repairing features. It also has a bulk processing
engine that can handle isolated faults during bulk operations.
Platform as a service
Salesforce Platform is a platform as a service (PaaS) product that allows developers to create cloud-
based applications and websites without worrying about database maintenance.
