How to add comments in SOQL

Question

Is it possible to put comments in SOQL?

The Force.com explorer doesn't support basic operations like undo/redo and I can't find any way to enter comments so experimenting with queries is painful.

I've tried all the usual suspects --, #, /*, //

Answer 1

There is currently no way to use comments in SOQL. Although, it possible to comment out pieces of queries that have been issued in Apex.

But there are a few tools which might be helpful for you as compared to the official Flash-based Explorer and Eclipse IDE.

Some of which are:

Real Force Explorer

Brain Engine

Workbench

JitterBit Data Loader
