What is a Salesforce Object and how to differentiate between Standard and Custom Salesforce Objects.

• Salesforce Objects are nothing but a database table in the background.

• When you create an object, a corresponding DB table is created in the backend by the Salesforce platform.

• When you create records for any object, that data gets inserted into the corresponding DB table.

• There are two types of salesforce objects
• Standard - The ones shipped out of the box by salesforce
• Custom - The one which we create on the Org.

• How to differentiate between Standard and Custom Salesforce Objects?
• Go to Setup --> Object manager
• Open the Object you want to check
• In Object details, check the API name of the Object:
• If it has __c appended in the end then it is a custom object.
• If it does not have __c appended, then it is a standard object.
