Article summary

Azure Cosmos SQL

Azure Cosmos DB SQL API accounts provide support for querying items using the Structured Query Language (SQL), one of the most familiar and popular query languages, as a JSON query language.

With Turbo360, it is possible to manage Cosmos SQL Containers.

Once an Azure Cosmos SQL Container is associated with Turbo360's Business Application, it can be managed from a central place.

Cosmos SQL Database can contain any number of containers; each container can be managed separately by associating it with Turbo360.

Execute SQL Queries

Turbo360 extends its capability to execute SQL Queries without a need to switch to any database management tools.

Users can also save a query and run the associated stored procedures.

The saved queries can be opened by clicking the Saved queries option availabe at the top of the section.

Stored Procedures

The stored procedures present in the container will be listed by:

  1. selecting the required procedure
  2. providing the appropriate input,

Users can execute the stored procedures in Turbo360.

SELECT queries and Stored Procedures can only be executed from Turbo360. DML and DDL statements are restricted to prevent SQL injection attacks.

Managing Container item

Users can select the results from the executed query and choose to perform either deletion or update of that item.

Bulk deletion of items is also possible. On clicking the item id, a blade will be displayed where users will be able to edit and update the item.

Turbo360 also provides the capability to save the queries that are frequently used, so that the process of manually entering the query can be eliminated.

Resource Dashboard

A default resource dashboard is available for Cosmos SQL Container resources in the Overview section, allowing for enhanced data visualization and tracking of real-time data.
