Lesson: 29 | How can a single trigger update records, and are there any limitations on the number of records that can be updated?

Notes

Yes, there are limitations to the number of records that can be updated with a single trigger in certain contexts.

For example, in Salesforce, when a record is updated, a trigger can update up to 200 records of the same object in a single transaction. This is known as the "bulkification limit," and it is designed to prevent performance issues that can arise when a trigger tries to update too many records at once.

Additionally, there are other limits that can come into play when updating records in bulk. For example, there is a limit on the number of API calls that can be made per transaction, as well as a limit on the amount of CPU time that a transaction can use. These limits can vary depending on the Salesforce edition and the specific context in which the trigger is running.

It's important to keep these limits in mind when designing triggers that update multiple records. If the trigger needs to update more than 200 records, it may be necessary to split the updates into multiple transactions or use batch processing to handle the updates in smaller chunks.
