Unsupported PushTopic Queries

The following SOQL statements are not supported in PushTopic queries.

• Queries without an Id in the selected fields list
• Semi-joins and anti-joins
  • Example query: SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Id IN (SELECT AccountId FROM Contact WHERE Title = 'CEO')
  • Error message: INVALID_FIELD, semi/anti join sub-selects are not supported
• Aggregate queries (queries that use AVG, MAX, MIN, and SUM)
  • Example query: SELECT Id, AVG(AnnualRevenue) FROM Account
  • Error message: INVALID_FIELD, Aggregate queries are not supported
• COUNT
  • Example query: SELECT Id, Industry, Count(Name) FROM Account
  • Error message: INVALID_FIELD, Aggregate queries are not supported
• LIMIT
  • Example query: SELECT Id, Name FROM Contact LIMIT 10
  • Error message: INVALID_FIELD, 'LIMIT' is not allowed
• Relationships aren’t supported, but you can reference an ID:
  • Example query: SELECT Id, Contact.Account.Name FROM Contact
  • Error message: INVALID_FIELD, relationships are not supported
• Searching for values in Text Area fields.
• ORDER BY
  • Example query: SELECT Id, Name FROM Account ORDER BY Name
  • Error message: INVALID_FIELD, 'ORDER BY' clause is not allowed
• GROUP BY
  • Example query: SELECT Id, AccountId FROM Contact GROUP BY AccountId
  • Error message: INVALID_FIELD, 'Aggregate queries are not supported'
• Formula fields in WHERE clauses (formula fields are supported in SELECT clauses though.)
• NOT
  • Example query: SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE NOT Name = 'Salesforce.com'
  • Error message: INVALID_FIELD, 'NOT' is not supported

  To make this a valid query, change it to SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Name != 'Salesforce.com'.

  The NOT IN phrase is supported in PushTopic queries.

  Note

• OFFSET
  • Example query: SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE City = 'New York' OFFSET 10
  • Error message: INVALID_FIELD, 'OFFSET' clause is not allowed
• TYPEOF
  • Example query: SELECT TYPEOF Owner WHEN User THEN LastName ELSE Name END FROM Case
  • Error message: INVALID_FIELD, 'TYPEOF' clause is not allowed

  TYPEOF is currently available as a Developer Preview as part of the SOQL Polymorphism feature. For more information on enabling TYPEOF for your organization, contact Salesforce.
