How to export bulk sObject records in a dynamic visual force page?
As Apex is integrated with the database, the Salesforce records and their field can be directly accessed from Apex. And every record in Salesforce is natively represented as sObject in Apex.
sObjects are standard or custom objects that stores record data in the force.com database. And a sObject variable represents a row of data and can only be declared in Apex using the SOAP API name of the object.
For example,
Account acc = new Account();
MyCustomObject__c customobject = new MyCustomObject__c();
Herein,
