Try something like,

index=foo sourceltype=bar MSG_NUM=cma* 
| bucket span=1h _time
| stats dc(CHNL) as uniq_channels by _time MSG_TM

or

Is your data already indexed or are you trying to read a SQL database from Splunk? If the former, see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.2/SearchReference/SQLtoSplunk. If the latter, check out the Splunk DB Connect app.
