- Database.getQueryLocator returns a Query Locator that runs your selected SOQL query returning list that can be iterated over in batch apex.
- The query locator can return up to 50 million records
- It should be used in instances where you want to batch a high volume of data up (pagination or batch apex).
- The database.query method should be used in instances where you are wanting to do a dynamic runtime SOQL query for your code.
