Table Specific Information

The component uses the WordPress API to process supported filters. The component processes other filters client-side within the component. To retrieve and filter the values for the 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.
