Querying CosmosDB. Part 1

Hi CosmosDB Community !!!


I'd like to contribute with some posts about how to query Cosmos DB Collection with SQL API.

Suppose we have a speaker list of differents events around a whole world.

The link above represent speaker list example.
Example1.json

For all examples we will use Data Explore in Azure Portal. Anyway, you can use any API in any supported programming language to write your queries. We are not using Modeling data techniques or witting same data in different ways to avoid cross partition queries. The main objective of the post is how to use built-in functions and operators in CosmosDB SQL API.

Query

SELECT * FROM c where c.speaker = "Hassan Arteaga Rodriguez"

Add more security to an Azure CosmosDB Account.

W e can access programmatically to Azure Cosmos DB resources to create, query, and delete databases, document collections, and documents via REST API. To perform operations on Azure Cosmos DB resources, you can send HTTPS requests with a selected method: GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE to an CosmosDB endpoint.  Frequently we build architecture with centralized access to a persistence layer, then we won't let other applications access directly to this layer. Suppose we have the following hypothetical scenario (see Figure 1): Figure 1. Hypothetical Scenario Only WEB API Service with IP1 is allowed to establish connections with CosmosDB EndPoint. The others elements showed as Application are not allowed. By default we have in our CosmosDB resource the following configuration (see Figure 2) in Firewall and Virtual Networks option. Figure 2. Default Configuration To show you how this feature works, we are going to create a WEP API with a single function (r
