GlennAtAppirio SOQL Query for Case Emails - How?
I am trying to do a relationship query for EmailMessages associated with a Case. However, something seems to be "special" about this relationship.
Normally, I can retrieve related lists like this:
SELECT id, (SELECT CommentBody FROM Case.CaseComments) FROM Case WHERE id = '50050000003DZRB'
However, this approach doesn't seem to work with EmailMessages. I don't see any related list for EmailMessages in the Enterprise WSDL, but surprisingly, a relatinship does show up in the schema browser Apex Toolkit for Eclipse. However the relationship looks "funny" there - you can't drill into it like you can with the other Case relationships (it has a blue ball next to it instead of a plus sign), so you can't view the relationship name. For the sake of trying everything, I experimented with some guesses at the relationship name -
(SELECT id FROM Case.EmailMessages)
(SELECT id FROM Case.CaseEmailMessages)
(SELECT id FROM Case.Emails)
(SELECT id FROM Case.CaseEmails)
None of these worked. But it feels like this should be doable - the EmailMessage object has a "ParentID" field that points back to the Case, so I can always do a separate SOQL query on EmailMessage. But I'd hoped to use a relationship query here, for various reasons.
Can anyone explain the apparently "special" relationship from Case to EmailMessage?

I am trying something like "lstCase = [select Id, (select id from EmailMessage) from Case where Id =: caseId];" and I get a error saying "Relationship not understood".
Please help me with this.
