Salesforce documentation says
- "Total number of records processed as a result of DML statements, Approval.process, or database.emptyRecycleBin is 10,000"
- "Total number of DML statements issued 150"
It does not mean you can delete/insert/update/upsert a row maximum of 9999 in a group up to 150 times. It is cumulative that mean the number of records gets added as a single list. Which means as soon you start your DML process or enter inside your apex function your session starts and then with each DML it keeps adding rows to check the count is less than 10,000 or not.
For Example:
public void delTest(){
List<Account> a; // say of size 9000
List<Account__c> a1; // Say list of 2000;
// Now if we fire
delete a;
delete a1;
// We are going to receive too many DML rows as the total count of DML rows is
// 9000 + 2000 = 11,000.
}
To overcome this issue we have two possible solution
- To implement a batch/future/remote [asynchronous] process to delete
- Or we need to check the total size of the DML rows and go back to the VF page and initiate same function until all desired record got deleted.
But if we want synchronous operation actionFunction is the only operation which can help up to do more DML.
