Standard and Custom Objects

          The Basic Entity of Salesforce are the sObjects. sObjects comprise of  Standard and Custom Objects. Didn't Understand?? Even I wouldn't have. Standard and Custom Objects are nothing but Tables. So whats the difference between them. As the name Suggests Standard Objects-Objects(Tables)which are Standard/Provided by Salesforce. Now you can feel good because you know what custom objects are. See I knew you would know it. So now I'll just write it- Custom objects are the Objects/tables that we create as per our requirement. 

Important: Whenever you see something like "__c"  appended at the end of a name. It indicates that that entity is custom. 

              Now Imagine a empty table!! Is it of any good?? No, right?? So there you are here is when we require fields. So the Standard Objects have the Standard fields. And the Custom objects have Custom fields. However we can add custom fields to the Standard Objects. This is done to fulfill our requirement. 

               To access the Standard Objects click on our Name->Setup->Customize. Here you will get to see a list of names Like "Opportunity, Case, Account, Contact, Lead, Campaign, Idea.. etc". And When you click the Name of these sObjects You get to See Fields. And upon clicking it you will be able to see the fields to these Object. Now to access the Custom Objects Click your Name>>Setup>>Create>>Objects. Here you will get to see the Custom Objects. And upon clicking the custom object you will see two sections -

1. Standard Fields. These are the Standard Fields created By the System and can not be deleted.
2. Custom Fields & Relationships: These are the Custom Fields created by us. Don't be confused By the term relationship, we'll discuss it in the next page. 

*You might have to create a Custom object iff not created.
