I am getting error 'No such column 'AccountNumber' on entity 'Name' when i tried to execute the following query,

select parent.AccountNumber, parentid, subscriberid from EntitySubscription where parent.type='account'

How to get AccountNumber from this query? Please suggest.

You need to use TYPEOF to get at this data (currently only a developer preview). If you need this for production code, use two queries instead of one.

select id, typeof parentid when account then parent.accountnumber end from entitysubscription where parent.type = 'account'

  • when i try to use the accountnumber using this statement "mapES.put(es.parent.AccountNumber,es)" i am getting an error "Invalid field AccountNumber for SObject Name". Any suggestions please. I am using developer edition.

    That's because Parent is an SObject, so you'd have to: mapES.put((String)es.parent.get(Account.AccountNumber), es) (approximately).
