When Salesforce reports can’t surface duplicate accounts, SOQL queries offer a direct path to identify duplicates. But native SOQL tools like Developer Console and Workbench have significant limitations including 50,000 row query limits and manual export processes.
Here’s how to use advanced SOQL capabilities that overcome these native limitations and provide automated duplicate account identification.

CoefficientSalesforceSalesforceprovides superior SOQL functionality that eliminates the row limits and manual processes ofornative tools. You can run complex duplicate detection queries, schedule automatic execution, and export results directly to spreadsheets for analysis.
How to make it work
Step 1. Create aggregate queries to identify duplicate names.
Use queries like SELECT Name, COUNT(Id) cnt FROM Account GROUP BY Name HAVING COUNT(Id) > 1 to find accounts with identical names. This aggregate approach quickly surfaces the most obvious duplicates without hitting query limits.
Step 2. Build complex matching logic queries.
Write queries that identify duplicates based on multiple criteria: SELECT Id, Name, Website, Phone FROM Account WHERE Website IN (SELECT Website FROM Account GROUP BY Website HAVING COUNT(Id) > 1). This finds all accounts sharing websites with other accounts.
Step 3. Schedule automated query execution.
Unlike Developer Console’s manual execution, schedule your SOQL queries to run automatically on hourly or daily intervals. This ensures your duplicate detection stays current as new accounts are added to Salesforce.
Step 4. Import larger datasets without row limits.
Execute queries that return more than the 50,000 row limit of native Salesforce tools. This is crucial for comprehensive duplicate analysis in organizations with large account databases.
Step 5. Combine multiple objects in single queries.
Create join queries that combine Account data with related objects for complex duplicate detection scenarios. This advanced capability goes beyond what’s possible with standard Salesforce reporting or basic SOQL tools.
