AvoidDmlStatementsInLoops

Deprecated

Since: PMD 5.5.0

Priority: Medium (3)

Avoid DML statements inside loops to avoid hitting the DML governor limit. Instead, try to batch up the data into a list and invoke your DML once on that list of data outside the loop.

This rule is deprecated and will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. The rule is replaced by the more general rule OperationWithLimitsInLoop.

This rule is defined by the following Java class: net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.apex.rule.performance.AvoidDmlStatementsInLoopsRule

Example(s):

public class Something {
    public void foo() {
        for (Integer i = 0; i < 151; i++) {
            Account account;
            // ...
            insert account;
        }
    }
}

AvoidSoqlInLoops

Deprecated

Since: PMD 5.5.0

Priority: Medium (3)

New objects created within loops should be checked to see if they can created outside them and reused.

This rule is deprecated and will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. The rule is replaced by the more general rule OperationWithLimitsInLoop.

This rule is defined by the following Java class: net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.apex.rule.performance.AvoidSoqlInLoopsRule

public class Something {
    public static void main( String as[] ) {
        for (Integer i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            List<Account> accounts = [SELECT Id FROM Account];

AvoidSoslInLoops

Deprecated

Since: PMD 6.0.0

Priority: Medium (3)

Sosl calls within loops can cause governor limit exceptions.

This rule is deprecated and will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. The rule is replaced by the more general rule OperationWithLimitsInLoop.

This rule is defined by the following Java class: net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.apex.rule.performance.AvoidSoslInLoopsRule

public class Something {
    public static void main( String as[] ) {
        for (Integer i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            List<List<SObject>> searchList = [FIND 'map*' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Account (Id, Name), Contact, Opportunity, Lead];

OperationWithLimitsInLoop

Since: PMD 6.29.0

Priority: Medium (3)

Database class methods, DML operations, SOQL queries, or SOSL queries within loops can cause governor limit exceptions. Instead, try to batch up the data into a list and invoke the operation once on that list of data outside the loop.

This rule is defined by the following Java class: net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.apex.rule.performance.OperationWithLimitsInLoopRule

Example(s):

public class Something {
    public void databaseMethodInsideOfLoop(List<Account> accounts) {
        for (Account a : accounts) {
            Database.insert(a);
        }
    }

    public void dmlInsideOfLoop() {
        for (Integer i = 0; i < 151; i++) {
            Account account;
            // ...
            insert account;
        }
    }

    public void soqlInsideOfLoop() {
        for (Integer i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            List<Account> accounts = [SELECT Id FROM Account];
        }
    }

    public void soslInsideOfLoop() {
        for (Integer i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            List<List<SObject>> searchList = [FIND 'map*' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Account (Id, Name), Contact, Opportunity, Lead];
