Database.cs

This method creates a query for containers under an database using a SQL statement with parameterized values. It returns a FeedIterator. For more information on preparing SQL statements with parameterized values, please see QueryDefinition overload.

public abstract Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.FeedIterator<T> GetContainerQueryIterator<T> (Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.QueryDefinition queryDefinition, string continuationToken = default, Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.QueryRequestOptions requestOptions = default);

abstract member GetContainerQueryIterator : Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.QueryDefinition * string * Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.QueryRequestOptions -> Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.FeedIterator<'T>

Public MustOverride Function GetContainerQueryIterator(Of T) (queryDefinition As QueryDefinition, Optional continuationToken As String = Nothing, Optional requestOptions As QueryRequestOptions = Nothing) As FeedIterator(Of T)

Type Parameters

T

Parameters

queryDefinition

QueryDefinition

The Cosmos SQL query definition.

continuationToken

String

(Optional) The continuation token in the Azure Cosmos DB service.

requestOptions

QueryRequestOptions

(Optional) The options for the item query request.

Returns

FeedIterator<T>

An iterator to go through the containers

Examples

This create the type feed iterator for containers with queryDefinition as input.

QueryDefinition queryDefinition = new QueryDefinition("SELECT * FROM c where c.status like @status");
    .WithParameter("@status", "start%");
using (FeedIterator<ContainerProperties> feedIterator = this.cosmosDatabase.GetContainerQueryIterator<ContainerProperties>(queryDefinition))
{
    while (feedIterator.HasMoreResults)
    {
        FeedResponse<ContainerProperties> response = await feedIterator.ReadNextAsync();
        foreach (var container in response)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(container);
        }
    }
}

Remarks

Refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cosmos-db/sql-query-getting-started for syntax and examples.

ReadContainerAsync(ContainerRequestOptions, CancellationToken) is recommended for single container look-up.

GetContainerQueryIterator<T>(String, String, QueryRequestOptions)

Source:

Database.cs

This method creates a query for containers under an database using a SQL statement. It returns a FeedIterator.

public abstract Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.FeedIterator<T> GetContainerQueryIterator<T> (string queryText = default, string continuationToken = default, Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.QueryRequestOptions requestOptions = default);

abstract member GetContainerQueryIterator : string * string * Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.QueryRequestOptions -> Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.FeedIterator<'T>

Public MustOverride Function GetContainerQueryIterator(Of T) (Optional queryText As String = Nothing, Optional continuationToken As String = Nothing, Optional requestOptions As QueryRequestOptions = Nothing) As FeedIterator(Of T)

Type Parameters

T

Parameters

queryText

String

The Cosmos SQL query text.

continuationToken

String

(Optional) The continuation token in the Azure Cosmos DB service.

requestOptions

QueryRequestOptions

(Optional) The options for the item query request.

Returns

FeedIterator<T>

An iterator to go through the containers

Examples

1. This create the type feed iterator for containers with queryText as input,

string queryText = "SELECT * FROM c where c.status like 'start%'";
using (FeedIterator<ContainerProperties> feedIterator = this.cosmosDatabase.GetContainerQueryIterator<ContainerProperties>(queryText))
{
    while (feedIterator.HasMoreResults)
    {
        FeedResponse<ContainerProperties> response = await feedIterator.ReadNextAsync();
        foreach (var container in response)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(container);
        }
    }
}

2. This create the type feed iterator for containers without queryText, retrieving all containers.

using (FeedIterator<ContainerProperties> feedIterator = this.cosmosDatabase.GetContainerQueryIterator<ContainerProperties>())
{
    while (feedIterator.HasMoreResults)
    {
        FeedResponse<ContainerProperties> response = await feedIterator.ReadNextAsync();
        foreach (var container in response)
        {
           Console.WriteLine(container);
        }
    }
}
