Lab 03 - CosmosDB - Sample Data no longer created?

[tylerfarmer1]

Lab/Demo: 03 - Explore Azure Cosmos DB

Task: View and create items

Description of issue When you use the "Launch Quick Start" and create the SampleDB, the older versions of this would include some sample data. Step 2 even says to "Select any of the items in the list to see a JSON representation of the item data." However, the SampleDB no longer seems to include sample data! I did this in my own subscription as well as in the lab hoster.

Now it seems there is a "CopilotSampleDb" that does have a lot of data. My opinion - the lab should change the query so that you query the Copilot database.

Example, you could just run the "Select * from c" to get a bunch of data. Then you could use the Copilot suggested query of "Show all products that have the word "ultra" in the name of description" and then it auto-generates this query:

-- Prompt: Show all products that have the word "ultra" in the name or description -- Explanation of query: Selects the items that contain the case insensitive string 'ultra' in either the name or description. SELECT * FROM c WHERE CONTAINS(c.name, 'ultra', true) OR CONTAINS(c.description, 'ultra', true)

Anyway, just a thought.,

@tylerfarmer1, sorry for the delayed reply. Thanks for bringing this up to us. We are investigating why this option no longer populate the container. I will let you know if the option has changed by designed and if so, if the lab needs to be reworded to reflect that if it's the case.

@tylerfarmer1, the issue has been fixed on our end and the Launch Quick Start option now generates the sample data again. No changes are then needed for the lab. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
