For more information, see the JSON specification.Īn Azure Cosmos DB container is a schema-free collection of JSON items. The type system and expressions are restricted to deal only with JSON types. The result of a query is a valid JSON value, but isn't guaranteed to be of a fixed schema.Īzure Cosmos DB supports strict JSON items only. The same expression could yield different types on different items. in ANSI SQL.īecause the query language works with schemaless data, the type system must be bound dynamically. You can refer to the tree nodes at any arbitrary depth, like 3….Nodem, similar to the two-part reference of. Since API for NoSQL works on JSON values, it deals with tree-shaped entities instead of rows and columns. The preceding examples show several aspects of the Azure Cosmos DB query language: The following query returns all the given names of children in the family whose id matches WakefieldFamily, ordered by city. The first item has strings, numbers, Booleans, arrays, and nested properties: AS Family
#JSON QUERY ONLINE REGISTRATION#
They include parents, children and their pets, address, and registration information. The following 2 JSON items are documents about the Andersen and Wakefield families. You will use this feature to create the JSON items below. Open this option and you'll see a button, in the menu bar in center of the screen, to create a 'New Item'.

In your Families container, you will see the Items option right below the name of the container. After the container is created, use the data structures browser, to find and open it.

In your API for NoSQL Azure Cosmos DB account, open the Data Explorer to create a container called Families. SQL queries can be run through either the SDK or Azure portal.
#JSON QUERY ONLINE HOW TO#
The remainder of this doc shows how to get started writing SQL queries in Azure Cosmos DB. Here are some examples of how to do SQL queries with each SDK: Of course, it's not possible for all workloads to exclusively read data using point reads, so support of SQL as a query language and schema-agnostic indexing provide a more flexible way to access your data. Point reads don't need to use the query engine to access data and can read the data directly. If you just need to read a single item, point reads are cheaper and faster than queries. Most read-heavy workloads on Azure Cosmos DB use a combination of both point reads and SQL queries. Queries always cost at least 2.3 request units and, in general, will have a higher and more variable latency than point reads. SQL queries - You can query data by writing queries using the Structured Query Language (SQL) as a JSON query language. Here are some examples of how to do Point reads with each SDK: Point reads return a single whole item, not a partial item or a specific field. For a 1 KB document, point reads typically cost 1 request unit with a latency under 10 ms. The item ID and partition key combination is the key and the item itself is the value. Point reads - You can do a key/value lookup on a single item ID and partition key. In Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL accounts, there are two ways to read data:
