Table Specific Information

The server uses the WordPress API to process some of the filters. The server processes other filters client-side within the server. For example, the following queries are processed server side.

SELECT * FROM Posts WHERE Id = 1
SELECT * FROM Posts WHERE Status = 'publish' AND Sticky = 'true'
SELECT * FROM Posts WHERE Id IN (1, 21)
SELECT * FROM Posts WHERE Author IN (1, 2)
SELECT * FROM Posts WHERE Date < '2018-02-02T02:02:23'
SELECT * FROM Posts WHERE Date > '2018-02-02T02:02:23'
SELECT * FROM Posts ORDER BY Title

Also, ordering by Id, Author, Date, Modified, is handled by the WordPress API.
