Examples

SSIS

Use Cosmos DB Connector in API Source or in API Destination SSIS Data Flow components to read or write data.

API Source

This Endpoint belongs to the SysUsers table, therefore it is better to use it, instead of accessing the endpoint directly:

API Source - Cosmos DB
Connect to your Azure Cosmos DB databases to read, query, create, update, and delete documents and more!
Cosmos DB
SysUsers
Required Parameters
User Name (Case-Sensitive) Fill-in the parameter...
Optional Parameters
Database Name (keep blank to use default) Case-Sensitive
SSIS API Source - Read from table or endpoint

API Destination

This Endpoint belongs to the SysUsers table, therefore it is better to use it, instead of accessing the endpoint directly. Use this table and table-operation pair to get user by id or name:

API Destination - Cosmos DB
Connect to your Azure Cosmos DB databases to read, query, create, update, and delete documents and more!
Cosmos DB
SysUsers
Lookup
Required Parameters
User Name (Case-Sensitive) Fill-in the parameter...
Optional Parameters
Database Name (keep blank to use default) Case-Sensitive
SSIS API Destination - Access table operation

ODBC application

Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:

Get user by id or name

SELECT * FROM SysUsers
WHERE Id = 'abcd-1234-id'

get_user endpoint belongs to SysUsers table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).

SQL Server

Use these SQL queries in SQL Server after you create a data source in Data Gateway:

Get user by id or name

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT * FROM SysUsers
WHERE Id = ''abcd-1234-id''';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_COSMOS_DB_IN_GATEWAY];

get_user endpoint belongs to SysUsers table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).
