Agenda Query Interface Query Behavior Query Statements Insert Update Delete

Read operations Queries select documents from a single collection. db.collection.find() Find() accepts the query criteria (what to return) It returns a cursor to the document set Cursor points to the first 20 docs in the result set, is iterable. Limits can be applied. Projections return only wanted fields Limit will limit the number of documents returned

Query Selectors (Comparasions) Name Description $eq Matches values that are equal to a specified value. $gt Matches values that are greater than a specified value. $gte Matches values that are greater than or equal to a specified value. $lt Matches values that are less than a specified value. $lte Matches values that are less than or equal to a specified value. $ne Matches all values that are not equal to a specified value. $in Matches any of the values specified in an array. $nin Matches none of the values specified in an array.

Query Selectors (Logical) Name Description $or Joins query clauses with a logical OR returns all documents that match the conditions of either clause. $and Joins query clauses with a logical AND returns all documents that match the conditions of both clauses. $not Inverts the effect of a query expression and returns documents that do not match the query expression. $nor Joins query clauses with a logical NOR returns all documents that fail to match both clauses.

Query Behavior All queries in MongoDB refer to a single collection (Ex. restaurants) Modify the results via: Limits, Skips, Sort Orders The order of the documents can be random unless you specify a sort() order. Updates also use the same syntax as Reads to select documents to update.

How Query Statements Work

Projections Queries will automatically return all fields in all matching docs by default. Limit the number of fields returned by each document with a projection Projections are the second argument in the find() method. Can specify a list of fields to return Can also specify a list of fields to exclude You cannot mix inclusive and exclusive projections together. Except for excluding the _id field in an inclusive projection.

Projections

Projection Examples db.records.find( { "user_id": { $lt: 42 } }, { "history": 0 } ) db.records.find( { "user_id": { $lt: 42 } }, { "name": 1, "email": 1 } ) db.records.find( { "user_id": { $lt: 42} }, { "_id": 0, "name": 1 , "email": 1 } )

Write Operations

Agenda Insert Update Remove

Insert MongoDB db.collection.insert() Inserts a new doc with the age, name, status, and _id fields

Insert Mysql

Insert Adding a doc without an _id field is ok. MongoDB will auto generate a unique id. If you specify the _id field, it must be unique to the current collection.

Update MongoDB Updates a document that matches the criteria Updates are atomic within a single document

Update Mysql

Update By default, update only applies to a single update Use the multi option to update multiple docs in a single query db.books.update( { stock: { $lte: 10 } }, { $set: { reorder: true } }, { multi: true } )

Upsert An update that, if the doc exists, it will do an update If the doc does not exist, it will do an insert db.people.update( { name: "Andy" }, { name: "Andy", rating: 1, score: 1 }, { upsert: true } )

Remove MongoDB Deletes doc from collection Accepts a query criteria to determine which docs to remove

Remove Mysql
