Messages
Create, update, delete, and query the available messages in Slack.
Select
The Messages table requires ChannelId or SearchTerm in the WHERE clause. The driver also uses the Slack API to process search criteria that refer to the Id column. The ChannelId, SearchTerm, and Id columns support server-side processing for the = operator. The driver processes other search criteria client-side within the driver.
SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE ChannelId = 'D71R6CSR1' SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE SearchTerm = 'text' SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE CreatedTime >= '7-30-2023 00:00:00' AND CreatedTime <= '8-4-2023 00:00:00'
Insert
Slack allows inserts only when ChannelId and Text are specified.
INSERT INTO Messages (ChannelId, Text) VALUES ('D71R6CSR1', 'This is a message')
Update
The Messages table allows updates only for the Text field. Specify ChannelId and Id.
UPDATE Messages SET Text = 'Updated message' WHERE ChannelId = 'D71R6CSR1' AND Id = '1234567890.123456'
Delete
Messages can be deleted by providing the ChannelId and the Id of the message.
DELETE FROM Messages WHERE ChannelId = 'D71R6CSR1' AND Id = '1234567890.123456'
