The document discusses Salesforce's no code data model, including the different types of objects like standard, custom, external, and big objects that make up the data model. It also covers the different field types, relationship types like master-detail and lookup relationships that can exist between objects, and how record types allow different views of the same data. The data model in Salesforce can be created and configured both declaratively through the user interface and programmatically using code.

Editor's Notes
- #8: Auto number : when auto number data types is selected a system-generated sequence number that uses a certain display format that we define. Auto generated number will be increment for every record we create. Formula : When Formula data type is selected we are able to derive different Formula expressions that derives values. The formula field is updated every time when there is a change in source field. It is a read-only field type. Roll-up Summary : Roll-up Summary is also a read-only field type. By using this Roll-up Summary data types we are able to make some mathematical calculations like Sum, Minimum, Maximum values of a afield in a related list or the record count of all records listed in a related list. Lookup Relationship : This type of Data type links two objects. we can link on object to another object by Lookup relationship. This data type field allows user to select a value from popup list. Master-detail relationship : Master-detail relationship also links two objects but it creates a special type of parent-child relationship between the two objects.
