In Chapter 3, Writing and Running Queries on NoSQL Document Databases, we learned how to execute SQL queries against a document collection with the SQL API by using different tools.

However, in these last two chapters, we didn't check request unit consumption.
Every operation and query performed on Cosmos DB consumes request units. We can consider request units...
