Query for  all documents in a collection


db.restaurants.find()

 

Query with pretty

db.restaurants.find().pretty()

Query by a top level field

      $set: { "cuisine": "American (New)" },
      $currentDate: { "lastModified": true }
    }

    $currentDate: { "lastModified": true }
  },
  { multi: true}
)

              "building" : "1480",
              "street" : "2 Avenue",
              "zipcode" : "10075"
     }
   }
)




Remove all documents that match a condition

db.restaurants.remove( { "name": "Vella 2" } )

Use the justOne option

#removes only one of the matching documents
db.restaurants.remove( { "borough": "Manhattan" }, { justOne: true } )

Remove all documents

db.restaurants.remove( { } )

Drop a collection

db.restaurants.drop()

Data Aggregation

Group documents by a field and calculate count

# Use the $group stage to group by a specified key. In the $group stage, specify the group by key in the _id field. $group accesses fields by the field path, which is the field name prefixed by a dollar sign $. The $group stage can use accumulators to perform calculations for each group. The following example groups the documents in the restaurants collection by the borough field and uses the $sum accumulator to count the documents for each group.
db.restaurants.aggregate(
   [
     { $group: { "_id": "$borough", "count": { $sum: 1 } } }
   ]
);

Filter and group documents

#Use the $match stage to filter documents. $match uses the MongoDB query syntax. The following pipeline uses $match to query the restaurants collection for documents with borough equal to "Manhattan" and cuisine equal to Italian. Then the $group stage groups the matching documents by the address.zipcode field and uses the $sum accumulator to calculate the count.
db.restaurants.aggregate(
   [
     { $match: { "borough": "Manhattan", "cuisine": "Italian" } },
     { $group: { "_id": "$address.zipcode" , "count": { $sum: 1 } } }
   ]);

Indexes

Create a single field index

db.restaurants.createIndex( { "cuisine": 1 } )

Create a compound index

# MongoDB supports compound indexes which are indexes on multiple fields. The order of the fields determine how the index stores its keys. For example, the following operation creates a compound index on the "cuisine" field and the "address.zipcode" field. The index orders its entries first by ascending "cuisine" values, and then, within each "cuisine", by descending "address.zipcode" values.
db.restaurants.createIndex( { "cuisine": 1, "address.zipcode": -1 } )

Unique constraint

#Just an example. Does not work with the restaurants collection.
db.members.createIndex( { "user_id": 1 }, { unique: true } )

FindOne

Find one document

#Find random document by calling findOne without any search parameters
db.people.findOne()

Find one specific document

#Find specific document by passing in one or more key values
db.people.findOne( {  “name” : “Smith” } )
db.people.findOne( { “name” : “Smith” , “age” : 30 } )

Find one document and display only the fields you want to see

#Find specific document and specify the fields you want to display. By default, _id is displayed.
db.people.findOne( { “name” : “Jones” } , { “name” :  true , “_id” : false } )

Query using $gt and $lt

Get all documents where a numeric value is greater than or less than a value

# $gt greater than
# $lt lesser than
# $gte greater than or equal to
# $lte lesser than or equal to

#Query by single condition
db.scores.find( { “score” : {  “$gt” : 95 } } )

#Query by condition and additional search values
db.scores.find( { “score” : {  “$gt” : 95 }  , “type” : “essay” } )

#Query by multiple conditions
db.scores.find( { “score” : {  “$gt” : 95 , “lte” : 98 } } )

Get all documents where a string is lexicographically greater than or less than another string

#Query for finding all documents where name is lexicographically greater than or equal to the letter D
db.people.find( { “name” : { $gt : “D” } } )

#Query for finding all documents where name is lexicographically greater than or equal to the letters Je
db.people.find( { “name” : { $gt : “Je” } } )

#Query for finding all documents where name is lexicographically greater than or equal to the letters Je and less than Jo
db.people.find( { "name" : { $gte : "Je" , "$lt" : "Jo" } } )

Exists

#Find all documents where the key profession exists
db.people.find( { “profession” : { $exists : true } } )

Type of a field

#Find all documents where name is a string value. $type of 2 is based on BSON specification.
db.people.find( { “name” : { $type : 2} }

Regular Expressions

#Query for string patterns
db.people.find( { "name" : { "$regex" : "A" } } )

#Query for a document where the string name ends in letter ‘y’
db.people.find( { "name" : { "$regex" : "y$" } } )

#Query for document where name begins with letter ‘A’
db.people.find( { "name" : { "$regex" : "^A" } } )

#Query for a document where name contains a letter ‘J’ and age exists
db.people.find( { "name" : { $regex : "J" } , "age" : { $exists : true } } );

$or

# Query to find all documents in people where name ends with an ‘e’ or age exists

db.people.find( { $or : [ { name : { $regex : "e$" } }, { age : { $exists : true } } ] } );

# Query to find all documents where score is greater than 90 or lesser than 50
db.scores.find( { $or : [ { score : { $gt : 90 } }, { score : { $lt : 50 } } ] } )

$and

#Find all people whose names lexicographically are greater than ‘A’ and the name also has a ‘n’ in it
db.people.find( { $and :[ { name : { $gt : "A" } }, { name : { $regex : "n" } } ] } )

#The same query can be performed without a $and. $and is not optimizable
db.people.find( { name : { $gt : "A", $regex : "n" } } )

Querying inside Arrays


> db.people.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("563ae19d4192c9f554e4293c"), "name" : "John" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("563b8cabba646839a580a695"), "name" : "Jane", "age" : "30", "favorites" : [ "red", "green", "blue" ] }

{ "_id" : ObjectId("563b8cc2ba646839a580a696"), "name" : "Gerald", "age" : "32", "favorites" : [ "green", "blue" ] }

Using $all for searching in Array

# Matches any document that has all of the specified elements in the field irrespective of the order
> db.people.find( { favorites : { $all : ["blue", "green"] } } )
{ "_id" : ObjectId("563b8cabba646839a580a695"), "name" : "Jane", "age" : "30", "favorites" : [ "red", "green", "blue" ] }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("563b8cc2ba646839a580a696"), "name" : "Gerald", "age" : "32", "favorites" : [ "green", "blue" ] }

Querying for nth element in an Array



db.movieDetails.find({"countries.1": "Sweden"}).count()

Using $in for searching in Array

# Find all documents that have either of the values of name
> db.people.find( { name : { $in : [ "Andrew", "Andy" ] } } )
{ "_id" : ObjectId("563ae1894192c9f554e42939"), "name" : "Andrew" }

#Insert a nested document
> db.people.insert( { name : "Joe Biden", email : { work : "joe@whitehouse.gov", personal : "joe@joebiden.com" } } )
WriteResult({ "nInserted" : 1 })


#The query returns a result because the email document is a byte by byte match

{ "_id" : ObjectId("563b9070ba646839a580a698"), "name" : "Joe Biden", "email" : { "work" : "joe@whitehouse.gov", "personal" : "joe@joebiden.com" } }

#The query does not return anything because the order of elements in the email document is different and hence the byte by byte comparison does not find the document.
> db.people.find( { email : { personal : "joe@joebiden.com" }, work : "joe@whitehouse.gov" } )


#The query does not return anything because there is only one element in the search and the document actually has two elements.

$set and $inc command

$set command

The command is used for setting specific values in a document using the update command. This command retains the data for all other fields in the document unlike the update command when used without the $set.

# Find a document where name is Jane
> db.people.find( { name : "Jane" } ).pretty()
{
        "_id" : ObjectId("563b8cabba646839a580a695"),
        "name" : "Jane",
        "age" : "30",
        "favorites" : [
                "red",
                "green",
                "blue"
        ]
}

# Set the age for Jane to 35
> db.people.update( { name : "Jane"}, { $set : { age : 35 }} )
WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 1 })
> db.people.find( { name : "Jane" } ).pretty()
{
        "_id" : ObjectId("563b8cabba646839a580a695"),
        "name" : "Jane",
        "age" : 35,
        "favorites" : [
                "red",
                "green",
                "blue"
        ]
}

$inc command

The command is used for incrementing a value in a document using the update command.

# Increment the age of Jane by one using $inc
> db.people.update( { name : "Jane"}, { $inc : { age : 1 }} )
WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 1 })

> db.people.find( { name : "Jane" } ).pretty()
{
        "_id" : ObjectId("563b8cabba646839a580a695"),
        "name" : "Jane",
        "age" : 36,
        "favorites" : [
                "red",
                "green",
                "blue"
        ]
}

$unset command

Removes the field and the value from a specified document that matches the search criteria.
> db.people.find( { name : "Jane" } ).pretty()
{
        "_id" : ObjectId("563b8cabba646839a580a695"),
        "name" : "Jane",
        "age" : 36,
        "favorites" : [
                "red",
                "green",
                "blue"
        ]
}

> db.people.update( { name : "Jane" }, { $unset : { favorites : 1 } } )
WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 1 })
