To rename a collection in MongoDB, you can use renameCollection() method. The syntax is as follows −db.yourOldCollectionName.renameCollection('yourNewCollectionName');To understand the above syntax, let us list all the collections from database sample. The query is as follows −> use sample; switched to db sample > show collections;The following is the output −copyThisCollectionToSampleDatabaseDemo deleteDocuments deleteDocumentsDemo employee informationAboutDelete internalArraySizeDemo prettyDemo selectWhereInDemo sourceCollection updateInformation userInformationNow change collection name ‘informationAboutDelete’ to ‘deleteSomeInformation’. The query is as follows to change the collection name.> db.informationAboutDelete.renameCollection('deleteSomeInformation'); { "ok" : 1 }Here is the query to check the collection name has been renamed to 'deleteSomeInformation' −> show collections;The following is ...

To aggregate sum in MongoDB to get the total count, you can use the $sum operator. To understand the above concept, let us create a collection with the document −> db.aggregateSumDemo.insertOne({"CustomerName":"Larry", "Amount":140}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8baa0680f10143d8431e18") } > db.aggregateSumDemo.insertOne({"CustomerName":"Mike", "Amount":160}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8baa1380f10143d8431e19") } > db.aggregateSumDemo.insertOne({"CustomerName":"Sam", "Amount":300}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8baa1c80f10143d8431e1a") } > db.aggregateSumDemo.insertOne({"CustomerName":"David", "Amount":500}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8baa2580f10143d8431e1b") }Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method. The query is as follows −> db.aggregateSumDemo.find().pretty();The following ... Read More

You can check the current number of connections to MongoDB with the help of the following syntax −var anyVariableName= db.serverStatus(); yourVariableName.connections;The second syntax is as follows −db.serverStatus().connections;To understand both the above syntaxes, let us see them one by one −Case 1 − The first query is as follows −> var checkCurrentNumberOfConnections = db.serverStatus() > checkCurrentNumberOfConnections.connections;The following is the output −{ "current" : 1, "available" : 999999, "totalCreated" : 1 }Case 2 − The second query is as follows −> db.serverStatus().connectionsThe following is the output −{ "current" : 1, "available" : 999999, "totalCreated" : 1 }

You can use $ne(not equal) operator for this. The syntax is as follows −db.yourCollectionName.find({yourFieldName: {$ne: true}}).pretty();To understand the above syntax, let us create a collection with the document. The query to create a collection with a document is as follows −> db.queryForBooleanFieldsDemo.insertOne({"EmployeeName":"Larry", "EmployeeAge":24, "isOldEmployee":true}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8b7f7680f10143d8431e13") } > db.queryForBooleanFieldsDemo.insertOne({"EmployeeName":"Mike", "EmployeeAge":20, "isOldEmployee":false}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8b7f8680f10143d8431e14") } > db.queryForBooleanFieldsDemo.insertOne({"EmployeeName":"Sam", "EmployeeAge":23, "isOldEmployee":false}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8b7f9380f10143d8431e15") } > db.queryForBooleanFieldsDemo.insertOne({"EmployeeName":"David", "EmployeeAge":25, "isOldEmployee":true}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8b7fa280f10143d8431e16") } > db.queryForBooleanFieldsDemo.insertOne({"EmployeeName":"Carol", "EmployeeAge":27, "isOldEmployee":true}); ...

To select records having a given key, you can use $exists operator. The syntax is as follows −db.yourCollectionName.find( { yourFieldName: { $exists : true } } ).pretty();To understand the above syntax, let us create a collection with the document. The query to create a collection with a document is as follows −> db.selectRecordsHavingKeyDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"John", "StudentAge":21, "StudentMathMarks":78}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8b7be780f10143d8431e0f") } > db.selectRecordsHavingKeyDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Carol", "StudentMathMarks":89}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8b7bfc80f10143d8431e10") } > db.selectRecordsHavingKeyDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Sam", "StudentAge":26, "StudentMathMarks":89}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8b7c1280f10143d8431e11") } > db.selectRecordsHavingKeyDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Sam", "StudentMathMarks":98}); {    "acknowledged" : true, ...

The command to show the database currently used in MongoDB is the following −db;Let us first check how many databases are present. The query is as follows −> show dbs;The following is the output displaying all the databases −admin 0.000GB config 0.000GB local 0.000GB sample 0.000GB sampleDemo 0.000GB studentSearch 0.000GB test 0.003GBNow, we have the list of all databases. Let us use the above syntax to check current database. The query is as follows −> db;The following is the output −sampleLook at the above sample output, we are currently using ‘sample’ database. Let us switch the database and verify again ... Read More

Here is the snapshot of my console.The first query is as follows to clear console in MongoDB −Ctrl+L;The following is the output −Look at the above sample output, the console has been cleared. Let us check the console once again.The second query is as ... Read More

You can use $pull operator to remove the object from an array in MongoDB. To understand the concept, let us create a collection with the document. The query to create a collection with a document is as follows −> db.removeObjectFromArrayDemo.insertOne( ... {    ...    ... "StudentName": "John",    ... "StudentAcademicProjectDetails":    ... [{          ... "StudentProjectId": 101,          ... "StudentProjectName": "Pig Dice Game"       ... },       ... {          ... "StudentProjectId": 110,          ... "StudentProjectName": "Library Management System"       ... ... Read More

MongoDB indexes every value of an array so that you can query for single elements.To understand the concept, let us create a collection with the document. The query to create a collection with a document is as follows −> db.indexingForArrayElementDemo.insertOne({"StudentFavouriteSubject":["MongoDB", "MySQL"]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8acdca6cea1f28b7aa0816") }Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method. The query is as follows −> db.indexingForArrayElementDemo.find().pretty();The following is the output −{    "_id" : ObjectId("5c8acdca6cea1f28b7aa0816"),    "StudentFavouriteSubject" : [       "MongoDB",       "MySQL"    ] }Here is the query by which MongoDB index ...

Let us first create a collection with the document.
