Create, update, delete, and query Comments associated with a post.

Table Specific Information

Select

The cmdlet uses the WordPress API to process supported filters. The cmdlet processes other filters client-side within the cmdlet. You can turn off the client-side execution of the query by setting SupportEnhancedSQL to false in which case any search criteria that refers to other columns will cause inconsistent data. To retrieve and filter the values for AuthorEmail column, use context=edit in the WHERE clause. For example, the following queries are processed server side.

SELECT * FROM Comments WHERE Id = 61
SELECT * FROM Comments WHERE Id IN (61, 45)
SELECT * FROM Comments WHERE AuthorEmail = '[email protected]' AND Status = 'approve' AND Type = 'comment' AND PostId = '1' and context='edit';
SELECT * FROM Comments WHERE Author IN ('1', '2')
SELECT * FROM Comments WHERE Date > '2018-02-02T02:02:23'
SELECT * FROM Comments WHERE Date < '2018-02-02T02:02:23'
SELECT * FROM Comments ORDER BY Date DESC

Also, ordering by Id, DateGMT, Type, Parent, is handled by the WordPress API.
