Salesforce query to get task's comment - salesforce

I am trying to get the Comments from Salesforce tasks through a SOQL query like:
SELECT Id, Comments from Tasks
but it says "Comments" is not an existing field.
What should I use?

The field name of the Comments is "Description".
Change the query as below it will work.
"SELECT Id, Description from Task"

Is there a way to select all Objects in Salesforce that start with a value?

I can select all apex triggers by using
select id, name from ApexTrigger
and classes by using
select id, name from ApexClasses
but is there a way to select all objects ?
I have tried
select id, name from Objects but doesnt seem to work ?
SOQL queries run on exactly one object.
If you need to perform a full-text search across multiple objects, what you need is SOSL, the Salesforce Object Search Language. Note however that SOSL is quite different from SOQL. See the linked developer guide for more information.

SOQL query doesn't retrieve all contacts

I am working on a code snippet that is supposed to import all my contacts from Salesforce via SOQL.
Here is what I do when I want to import all Salesforce contacts for my user 00520000001IbXZAA0
First SOQL:
SELECT Id FROM account WHERE ownerid = ‘00520000001IbXZAA0’
Then I get all the account id where I am a team member:
SELECT AccountId FROM accountteammember WHERE UserId = ‘00520000001IbXZAA0’
Then I build an array with my ids and from my 2 previous requests and get all contacts this way:
SELECT FirstName, LastName, Account.Name FROM Contact WHERE AccountId IN myarrayofids ORDER BY CreatedDate ASC
This approach seems to get most of my contacts but I can still see some contacts appear in Salesforce but that are not retrieved with these 3 queries. Am I missing something here?
I have only very few knowledge of how Salesforce work but I suppose that if I retrieve all contacts where I am a team member or owner, I should retrieve all contacts I am able to see on Salesforce or am I missing something here?
Many thanks
The reason you are not able to see all records otherwise is as some might be shared with you via OWD or using role based sharing, manual sharing or apex sharing. If you are just looking for a list in csv or anything, the easiest thing you can do here is create a report to display all contacts and share it with this user. Login into Salesforce as this "00520000001IbXZAA0" user. Run the report and export into csv/excel.
If you wish to do this in code, write a class using "with sharing" keyword and run the following query "Select Id, FirstName, LastName .... From Contact". This will return this user all the records she/he has access to.
Try these above solutions and let me know if they work for you. Happy to help..!!

Azure Search Delete - Is there any way to specify conditions for the delete?

I have documents that are "owned" by particular users. The documents have the user id in a "userId" field.
I would like to issue a Delete command for a document, but also specifying conditions, for example (pseudo code) DELETE WHERE id = #documentId AND userId = #userId.
Currently the only way I can think to do this is I first issue a search SELECT WHERE id = #documentId AND userId = #userId. If I get back a document, then I know the document is owned by the expected user so I issue the delete command DELETE WHERE id = #documentId. But that requires two trips on the wire and I would prefer some way to do it in one trip.
Is there any way to do this in one command?
Currently, deleting a document is only possible via specifying its id. You seem to be asking for the more general "delete by query" functionality - please vote for this UserVoice suggestion to help us prioritize this feature. Thanks!

SalesForce SOQL join Leads to Contact

I'm trying to query data out of SalesForce Lead using SOQL and JOIN and obtain contact information where for the Lead Created through the contacts object.
I'm not sure which objects to use how to go about doing it.
Does anyone know of a detail schema of what can be used with SOQL relationship queries.
I've tried some examples from the following links but don't know how to do the same with Leads, contacts:
https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/developer-relations/2013/05/basic-soql-relationship-queries.html
First of all you didnt mention properly what you want
List<lead> info = [Select * from Lead where Id = 'Id name of that Particular record of lead'];
system.debug(info);
now you can see all information of that particular lead in logs.

Salesforce SOQL Queries and Tags

I'm just getting started with the Salesforce Web Services API and I'm surprised that there isn't an obvious way to do a query for all e.g. Account objects that contain certain tags.
What would you say is the best way to find all objects that contain certain tags?
I imagine it involves a join on Account.id and AccountTag.id or something similar, but despite some real research, I'm not sure how best to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance!
Update: I guess I could do a select from AccountTag and then get the account objects based on ItemId, but the ideal would be to do a query on Account, with Tags being only one part of the criteria.
You can use the SOQL-R style queries to do this, e.g. this will fetch the account Id and account Name for all the accounts with the internet tag.
select item.id, item.name from accountTag where name='internet'
in this case the item relationship is to the account that was tagged, so you can select any field from the account object through the item relationship path.
See the SOQL-R docs for more info
