To return query based on the date in MongoDB, let us take an example.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.returnQueryFromDate.insertOne({"PassengerName":"John", "PassengerAge":23, "PassengerArrivalTime":new ISODate("2018-03-10 14:45:56")}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a57be9064dcd4a68b70e4") } > db.returnQueryFromDate.insertOne({"PassengerName":"Larry", "PassengerAge":21, "PassengerArrivalTime":new ISODate("2018-05-19 11:10:23")}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a57bf9064dcd4a68b70e5") } > db.returnQueryFromDate.insertOne({"PassengerName":"Mike", "PassengerAge":24, "PassengerArrivalTime":new ISODate("2018-08-25 16:40:12")}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a57bf9064dcd4a68b70e6") } >db.returnQueryFromDate.insertOne({"PassengerName":"Carol", "PassengerAge":26, "PassengerArrivalTime":new ISODate("2019-01-29 09:45:10")}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a57bf9064dcd4a68b70e7") }Display all documents from a ...

To list all collections in Mongo shell, you can use the function getCollectionNames().The syntax is as follows −db.getCollectionNames();You can use another command which is collections. The syntax is as follows −show collections;To list all collections in Mongo, use the above two functions. The query is as follows −> db.getCollectionNames();The following is the output −[    "ConvertStringToDateDemo",    "IdUpdateDemo",    "ProductsInformation",    "addFieldDemo",    "addNewFieldToEveryDocument",    "arrayInnerElementsDemo",    "arrayLengthGreaterThanOne",    "arrayOfArraysDemo",    "caseInsensitiveDemo",    "changeDataType",    "changeType",    "charactersAllowedDemo",    "charactersDemo",    "checkFieldContainsStringDemo",    "checkSequenceDemo",    "combinationOfArrayDemo",    "conditionalSumDemo",    "convertStringToNumberDemo",    "copyThisCollectionToSampleDatabaseDemo",    "countDemo",    "createSequenceDemo",    "distinctCountValuesDemo",    "distinctRecordDemo", ...

To drop a MongoDB database from the command line, use the following syntax:mongo yourDatabaseName --eval "db.dropDatabase()"To understand the above syntax, let us display all the database from MongoDB. The query is as follows −> show dbs;The following is the output −StudentTracker 0.000GB admin 0.000GB config 0.000GB local 0.000GB sample 0.000GB test 0.003GBDrop the database with the name ‘StudentTracker’.

You can use the distinct command for this. 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.distinctCountValuesDemo.insertOne({"StudentFirstName":"John", "StudentFavouriteSubject":["C", "C++", "Java", "MySQL", "C", "C++"]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a39f193b406bd3df60e07") } > db.distinctCountValuesDemo.insertOne({"StudentFirstName":"Larry", "StudentFavouriteSubject":["MongoDB", "SQL Server"]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a3a1193b406bd3df60e08") }Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method.

You can use the aggregate framework to find duplicate records 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.findDuplicateRecordsDemo.insertOne({"StudentFirstName":"John"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a330293b406bd3df60e01") } > db.findDuplicateRecordsDemo.insertOne({"StudentFirstName":"John"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a330493b406bd3df60e02") } > db.findDuplicateRecordsDemo.insertOne({"StudentFirstName":"Carol"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a330c93b406bd3df60e03") } > db.findDuplicateRecordsDemo.insertOne({"StudentFirstName":"Sam"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a331093b406bd3df60e04") } > db.findDuplicateRecordsDemo.insertOne({"StudentFirstName":"Carol"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a331593b406bd3df60e05") } > db.findDuplicateRecordsDemo.insertOne({"StudentFirstName":"Mike"}); {   ...

For this, use the $not operator 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.notLikeOperatorDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"John Doe"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a29c393b406bd3df60dfc") } > db.notLikeOperatorDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"John Smith"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a29cc93b406bd3df60dfd") } > db.notLikeOperatorDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"John Taylor"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a29df93b406bd3df60dfe") } > db.notLikeOperatorDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Carol Taylor"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a2a1693b406bd3df60dff") } > db.notLikeOperatorDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"David Miller"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c8a2a2693b406bd3df60e00") }Display all documents from ...

Do not use $ symbol or period (.) because these characters are not allowed for MongoDB field names. The field shouldn’t start with $.Here is an example of the allowed characters −> db.charactersAllowedDemo.insertOne({"Employee Name" : "John"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c7fefbc8d10a061296a3c6d") }Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method. The query is as follows −> db.charactersAllowedDemo.find().pretty();The following is the output −{    "_id" : ObjectId("5c7fefbc8d10a061296a3c6d"),    "Employee Name" : "John" }

There is no difference between count() and find().count(). Let us see how both of them works. 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.countDemo.insertOne({"UserId":1, "UserName":"John"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c7f9d278d10a061296a3c5d") } > db.countDemo.insertOne({"UserId":2, "UserName":"Carol"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c7f9d308d10a061296a3c5e") } > db.countDemo.insertOne({"UserId":3, "UserName":"Bob"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c7f9d3a8d10a061296a3c5f") } > db.countDemo.insertOne({"UserId":4, "UserName":"Mike"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c7f9d428d10a061296a3c60") }Display all documents from a collection with the help ...
