Select * in Salesforce

soha1902 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 21:26:37 GMT

Hi All,

As we all know if we are connecting through SalesForce DB then we can not use "Select *" statement in the script.

I did some search and found by using SalesForceDLL.dll we can use "Select *" in the our application.

I have that .ddl file but dont know how to use it.

Can anyone please let me step by step how to use this .dll file to use "Select *" in my application.

Thanks.

Hi Shiva,

I am able to connect with SalesForce. but the problem is, if I use "select *" its throwing error message.

As per your script following "Load * " is not working.

KeyTable:

Load *;

SQL SELECT

CreatedById,

CreatedDate,

Id,

IsDeleted,

LastActivityDate,

LastModifiedById,

LastModifiedDate,

LastReferencedDate,

LastViewedDate,

Name,

SystemModstamp

FROM XXXXXXX;

i think latest connector will support, and few restrictions aswell.

PFA,

"The “SELECT *” statement can be added manually in the SOQL Query text box to select all fields in the table. The SOQL query language does not support the “SELECT *” statement, but the Salesforce Connector has been enhanced to recognize that syntax. Only asterisks (*) and simple field names can be used in the SELECT statement. Qualified field names, such as “Contact.FirstName,” are not permitted. The “SELECT *” statement can only be used when Bulk is selected."
