Does azure cosmosdb have like any operator to find records matching a pattern - azure-cosmosdb

Question

I am just wondering how do I do the below using the SQL API on Azure CosmosDB -
SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE user_id LIKE ANY(contacts);
The above statement works on postgres, wondering if there is anything similar in Azure CosmosDB.
The above statement receives a set of contacts in an array format like this ["4160000000","7780000000"] and finds the corresponding records in Postgres db.
UPDATE #Sajeetharan
Below are the documents I have in Cosmos DB-
{
"users": [
{
"partitionKey": "user",
"userPhoneNumber": "14161231234",
"userDisplayName": "Test User 1"
},
{
"partitionKey": "user",
"userPhoneNumber": "18055678978",
"userDisplayName": "Test User 2"
},
{
"partitionKey": "user",
"userPhoneNumber": "17202228799",
"userDisplayName": "Test User 3"
},
{
"partitionKey": "user",
"userPhoneNumber": "17780265987",
"userDisplayName": "Test User 4"
}
]
}
I will be sending in a set of userPhoneNumbers from javascript in an array format like below and then I need the SQL query to return the corresponding records in cosmos db.
var userPhoneNumbers = ["4161231234","7202228799"];
The above array has two values, which when sent to the cosmosdb should return the first and third record.
The userPhoneNumbers sent in will be sometimes missing the country code, so the search should be performed using CONTAINS or ENDSWITH.
Please advise!

Answer 1

As mentioned in question, need to perform like operation on phone numbers passing as array.
In cosmosDb there is no in-built function helps us to achieve the result. The way to achieve expected result is using cosmosDb UDF. Below is code snippet for the same.
function findUserNameByPhone(users, userPhoneNumbers) {
var s, i, j;
let result = [];
for(j = 0; j < userPhoneNumbers.length; j++)
{
for (i = 0; i < users.length; i++)
{
s = users[i];
if(s.userPhoneNumber.match(userPhoneNumbers[j]))
result = result.concat(s);
}
}
return result;
}
Consume the udf in query :-
SELECT udf.findUserNameByPhone(c.users,["4161231234","7202228799"]) FROM c
Edit as per comment
Use the UDF in select query. Also, as per your latest comment, if you need the result based on specific partition key you can use the self join as shown in the updated query. As partitionKey property is part of users array, hence the self join by passing the partitionKey value in where clause.
SELECT DISTINCT udf.findUserNameByPhone(c.users,["4161231234","7202228799"]) FROM c
JOIN u in c.users WHERE u.partitionKey = "user"
