Query for entire JSON document in nested JSON schema - sql

Question

Background:
I wish to locate the entire JSON document that has a condition where "state" = "new" and where length(Features.id) > 4
{
"id": "123"
"feedback": {
"Features": [
{
"state": "new"
"id": "12345"
}
]
}
}
This is what I have tried to do:
Since this is a nested document. My query looks like this:
A stackoverflow member has helped me to access the nested contents within the query, but is there a way to obtain the full document
I have used:
SELECT VALUE t.id FROM t IN f.feedback.Features where t.state = 'new' and length(t.id)>4
This will give me the ids.
My desire is to have access to the full document with this condition?
{
"id": "123"
"feedback": {
"Features": [
{
"state": "new"
"id": "12345"
}
]
}
}
Any help is appreciated

Try this
SELECT *
FROM f
WHERE
f.feedback.Features[0].state = 'new'
AND length(f.feedback.Features[0].id)>4
Here is the SELECT spec for CosmosDB for more details

Also, check out "working with JSON" in CosmosDB notes

If the Features array has more than 1 value, you can use EXISTS clause to search within them. See specs of EXISTS here with examples:
