In Salesforce, Master-Detail and Lookup relationships establish relationships between objects. Here's an explanation of each: Dependency and Data Integrity: Master-Detail Relationship: Child records are tightly bound to parent records. If a parent record is deleted, all associated child records are deleted. This ensures strong data integrity and dependency between records. Lookup Relationship: Child records can exist independently of parent records. Deleting a parent record does not automatically delete associated child records. This offers more flexibility but results in weaker data integrity than Master-Detail relationships. Ownership and Control: Master-Detail Relationship: The parent object owns the relationship, and the child object is subordinate. The child record inherits security and sharing settings from the parent record. Master-detail relationships are typically used for objects with a clear parent-child relationship where the parent owns the child's records. Lookup ...

Order of Execution in a Visualforce Page

-
In Visualforce, the order of execution refers to the sequence in which various components and actions are processed when a Visualforce page is loaded and rendered. Understanding this order is crucial for developers to control the behavior and appearance of their Visualforce pages effectively. Here's the typical order of execution: Component Initialization: First, any components defined in the Visualforce page are initialized. This includes standard components like <apex:page>, <apex:form>, and custom components. Controller Initialization: If the Visualforce page has a controller or controller extension associated with it, the constructor of the controller(s) is executed. This allows the controller to initialize any necessary data or perform any required setup operations. Getter Methods Execution: After the controller is initialized, getter methods defined in the controller are executed. Getter methods are responsible for providing data to the Visualforce page, typically...
