Select aggregate into Integer using Database.query()












3














So we all know we can put an aggregate directly into an Integer, like this:



Integer countAccounts = [SELECT COUNT() FROM Account];


Is it possible to do the same thing, using Database.query()?



Integer countAccounts = Database.query('SELECT COUNT() FROM Account');


If so - how?

          Yes. You can query using Database.countQuery(query)



          String QueryString = 'SELECT count() FROM Account'; 
          Integer countAccounts = Database.countQuery(QueryString);
