Azure DevOps Example - Query work item comments using Wiql.
The ZappySys API Driver is a user-friendly interface designed to facilitate the seamless integration of various applications with the Azure DevOps API. With its intuitive design and robust functionality, the ZappySys API Driver simplifies the process of configuring specific API endpoints to efficiently read or write data from Azure DevOps.
Following examples shows how to Query work item comments using Wiql. from Azure DevOps using ZappySys API Driver. You can explore additional examples for the Azure DevOps Connector here.
SELECT
Id
, WorkItemId
, Text
, RenderedText
, Format
, CreatedDate
, CreatedByUniqueName
, CreatedById
, CreatedByDisplayName
, ModifiedDate
, ModifiedByUniqueName
, ModifiedById
, ModifiedByDisplayName
, Url
FROM WorkItemComments
--WHERE Id=5283490 -- get just one comment for specific WorkItem Id
WITH(Query='SELECT [System.Id] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject]=''ProductTesting'' and [System.Id]=6455 ORDER BY [System.Id] DESC')Microsoft SQL Server OPENQUERY Query - Azure DevOps Example
Following examples shows how to Query work item comments using Wiql. in Microsoft SQL Server using OPENQUERY Query. This command facilitates the execution of pass-through queries on remote servers. Below example is demonstrating the usage of OPENQUERY.
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([MY_LINKED_SERVER_NAME],
'SELECT
Id
, WorkItemId
, Text
, RenderedText
, Format
, CreatedDate
, CreatedByUniqueName
, CreatedById
, CreatedByDisplayName
, ModifiedDate
, ModifiedByUniqueName
, ModifiedById
, ModifiedByDisplayName
, Url
FROM WorkItemComments
--WHERE Id=5283490 -- get just one comment for specific WorkItem Id
WITH(Query=''SELECT [System.Id] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject]=''''ProductTesting'''' and [System.Id]=6455 ORDER BY [System.Id] DESC'')');Microsoft SQL Server EXEC Query - Azure DevOps Example (Handling larger SQL text)
The major drawback of OPENQUERY is its inability to incorporate variables within SQL statements, which often leads to the use of cumbersome dynamic SQL (with numerous ticks and escape characters).
Fortunately, there is a solution. Starting with SQL 2005 and onwards, you can utilize the EXEC (your_sql) AT your_linked_server syntax. Following examples shows how to Query work item comments using Wiql. in Microsoft SQL Server using EXEC Query.
DECLARE @MyQyery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT
Id
, WorkItemId
, Text
, RenderedText
, Format
, CreatedDate
, CreatedByUniqueName
, CreatedById
, CreatedByDisplayName
, ModifiedDate
, ModifiedByUniqueName
, ModifiedById
, ModifiedByDisplayName
, Url
FROM WorkItemComments
--WHERE Id=5283490 -- get just one comment for specific WorkItem Id
WITH(Query=''SELECT [System.Id] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject]=''''ProductTesting'''' and [System.Id]=6455 ORDER BY [System.Id] DESC'')';
EXE (@MyQyery) AT [MY_LINKED_SERVER_NAME];
