SOQL with FieldHistoryArchive

You can use a subset of SOQL commands to query FieldHistoryArchive.

The allowed subset of SOQL commands lets you retrieve archived data for finer-grained processing. You can use the WHERE clause to filter the query by specifying comparison expressions for the FieldHistoryType, ParentId, and CreatedDate fields. You must specify the FieldHistoryType first, followed by either ParentId or CreatedDate. You can use =, <, >, <=, or >=, or IN. on the last field in your query. Any prior fields in your query can only use the = operator. The !=, LIKE, NOT IN, EXCLUDES, and INCLUDES operators are not valid in any query.

You can use the LIMIT clause to limit the number of returned results. If you don’t use the LIMIT clause, a maximum of 2,000 results are returned. You can retrieve more batches of results by using queryMore().

SELECT fieldList 
FROM FieldHistoryArchive
[WHERE FieldHistoryType expression [AND ParentId expression[AND CreatedDate expression]] ]
[LIMIT rows]

Examples: Allowed Queries

Unfiltered
SELECT ParentId, FieldHistoryType, Field, Id, NewValue, OldValue 
FROM FieldHistoryArchive
Filtered on FieldHistoryType
SELECT ParentId, FieldHistoryType, Field, Id, NewValue, OldValue 
FROM FieldHistoryArchive 
WHERE FieldHistoryType = ‘Account’
Filtered on FieldHistoryType and ParentId
SELECT ParentId, FieldHistoryType, Field, Id, NewValue, OldValue 
FROM FieldHistoryArchive 
WHERE FieldHistoryType = ‘Account’ AND ParentId=’906F00000008unAIAQ’
Filtered on FieldHistoryType, ParentId, and CreatedDate
SELECT ParentId, FieldHistoryType, Field, Id, NewValue, OldValue 
FROM FieldHistoryArchive 
WHERE FieldHistoryType = ‘Account” AND ParentId=’906F00000008unAIAQ’ AND CreatedDate > LAST_MONTH
Filtered on FieldHistoryType and CreatedDate
SELECT ParentId, FieldHistoryType, Field, Id, NewValue, OldValue 
FROM FieldHistoryArchive 
WHERE FieldHistoryType = ‘Account” AND CreatedDate >= LAST_MONTH

The following table describes the SOQL functions that are available for querying archived fields.

All number fields that are returned from a SOQL query of archived objects are in standard notation, not scientific notation as in the number fields in the entity history of standard objects.
