To improve querying field in MongoDB, you need to use index. Let us create a collection with documents> db.improveQueryDemo.insertOne( ... { ...    "PlayerDetails":[ ...       {"PlayerName": "John", "PlayerGameScore": 5690}, ...       {"PlayerName": "Carol", "PlayerGameScore": 2690}, ...    ] ... } ... ); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9dbaf875e2eeda1d5c3670") }Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method> db.improveQueryDemo.find().pretty();This will produce the following output{    "_id" : ObjectId("5c9dbaf875e2eeda1d5c3670"),    "PlayerDetails" : [       {          "PlayerName" : "John",     ...

In MySQL, we give an alias name for a column. Similarly, you can give an alias name for field name in MongoDB. The MongoDB equivalent syntax is as followsdb.yourCollectionName.aggregate( [    { "$project": {       "_id": 0,       "anyAliasName": "$yourFieldName"    }} ]);Let us first create a collection with documents> db.selectFieldAsAnotherNameDemo.insertOne({"Name":"Larry"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9d448827b86948e204ca91") } > db.selectFieldAsAnotherNameDemo.insertOne({"Name":"Robert"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9d449027b86948e204ca92") } > db.selectFieldAsAnotherNameDemo.insertOne({"Name":"Sam"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9d449527b86948e204ca93") } > db.selectFieldAsAnotherNameDemo.insertOne({"Name":"Mike"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9d449927b86948e204ca94") ...

To get the last element of array in MongoDB, use the following syntaxdb.yourCollectionName.find({}, {yourArrayFieldName:{$slice:-1}});Let us first create a collection with documents>db.getLastElementOfArrayDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"James", "StudentMathScore":[78, 68, 98]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9d2d71a629b87623db1b2e") } >db.getLastElementOfArrayDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Chris", "StudentMathScore":[88, 56, 34]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9d2d83a629b87623db1b2f") } >db.getLastElementOfArrayDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Larry", "StudentMathScore":[99]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9d2d8ea629b87623db1b30") } >db.getLastElementOfArrayDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Robert", "StudentMathScore":[90, 78, 67, 66, 75, 73]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9d2dada629b87623db1b31") }Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method> db.getLastElementOfArrayDemo.find().pretty();This will produce the following output{   ...

Yes, to retrieve multiple docs from MongoDB by id, use the $in operator. The syntax is as followsdb.yourCollectionName.find({_id:{$in:[yourValue1, yourValue2, yourValue3, ...N]}});Let us first create a collection with documents:> db.retrieveMultipleDocsByIdDemo.insertOne({"_id":10, "CustomerName":"John"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 10 } > db.retrieveMultipleDocsByIdDemo.insertOne({"_id":14, "CustomerName":"Chris"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 14 } > db.retrieveMultipleDocsByIdDemo.insertOne({"_id":20, "CustomerName":"Robert"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 20 } > db.retrieveMultipleDocsByIdDemo.insertOne({"_id":25, "CustomerName":"Sam"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 25 } > db.retrieveMultipleDocsByIdDemo.insertOne({"_id":30, "CustomerName":"Bob"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 30 } > db.retrieveMultipleDocsByIdDemo.insertOne({"_id":34, "CustomerName":"Carol"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 34 }Following is the query to display all documents ...

To insert a specific index for MongoDB array, you can use $push operator. Let us create a collection with documents>db.insertToSpecificIndexDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Larry", "StudentSubjects":["MySQL", "Java"]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9d2562a629b87623db1b2c") } >db.insertToSpecificIndexDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Chris", "StudentSubjects":["C++", "C"]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9d2573a629b87623db1b2d") }Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method> db.insertToSpecificIndexDemo.find().pretty();This will produce the following output{    "_id" : ObjectId("5c9d2562a629b87623db1b2c"),    "StudentName" : "Larry",    "StudentSubjects" : [       "MySQL",       "Java"    ] } {    "_id" : ObjectId("5c9d2573a629b87623db1b2d"),    "StudentName" : "Chris",   ...
