Cosmos DB SQL query in single embed document

Question

I am working with Cosmos DB and I want to write a SQL query that returns multiple document in one single embed documents.

To elaborate, imagine you have the following two document types in one container. OrderId of Order document has reference in OrderDetail document.

1.Order

{ 
    "OrderId": "31d4c08b-ee59-4ede-b801-3cacaea38808", 
    "Name": "ABC", 
    "Type": "Order", 
    "DeptName": "ABC", 
    "TotalAmount": 100.05 
}

2.OrderDetail

{ 
    "OrderDetailId": "689bdc38-9849-4a11-b856-53f8628b76c9", 
    "OrderId": "31d4c08b-ee59-4ede-b801-3cacaea38808", 
    "Type": "OrderDetail", 
    "ItemNo": 202, 
    "Quantity": 10, 
    "UnitPrice": 10.05 
}, 

{ 
    "OrderDetailId": "789bdc38-9849-4a11-b856-53f8628b76c9", 
    "OrderId": "31d4c08b-ee59-4ede-b801-3cacaea38808", 
    "Type": "OrderDetail", 
    "ItemNo": 200, 
    "Quantity": 11, 
    "UnitPrice": 15.05 
}

I want to write a query that will return all entries of OrderDetail in one array based on reference OrderId="31d4c08b-ee59-4ede-b801-3cacaea38808"

Output should be like below

{
   "OrderId":"31d4c08b-ee59-4ede-b801-3cacaea38808",
   "Name":"ABC",
   "Type":"Order",
   "OrderDetail":[
      {
         "OrderDetailId":"689bdc38-9849-4a11-b856-53f8628b76c9",
         "Type":"OrderDetail",
         "ItemNo":202,
         "Quantity":10,
         "UnitPrice":10.05
      },
      {
         "OrderDetailId":"789bdc38-9849-4a11-b856-53f8628b76c9",
         "Type":"OrderDetail",
         "ItemNo":200,
         "Quantity":11,
         "UnitPrice":15.05
      }
   ]
}

I have no idea how to query in Cosmosdb to get the above result.

Your desired output should be applied in relational database,Cosmos db is non-relational db which is not appropriate for your scenario. Per my knowledge, no query sql could produce above output directly.

I suggest you executing 2 sqls, one produces:

{"OrderId":"31d4c08b-ee59-4ede-b801-3cacaea38808",
   "Name":"ABC",
   "Type":"Order"}

other one produces:

"OrderDetail":[
      {
         "OrderDetailId":"689bdc38-9849-4a11-b856-53f8628b76c9",
         "Type":"OrderDetail",
         "ItemNo":202,
         "Quantity":10,
         "UnitPrice":10.05
      },
      {
         "OrderDetailId":"789bdc38-9849-4a11-b856-53f8628b76c9",
         "Type":"OrderDetail",
         "ItemNo":200,
         "Quantity":11,
         "UnitPrice":15.05
      }
   ]

Then combine them. Surely,you could do such process in Stored Procedure.
