To update, just save new ID and remove the old one using remove(). Let us first create a collection with documents −> db.updatingDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Robert"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e04dae5150ee0e76c06a04b") } > db.updatingDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Bob"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e04dae7150ee0e76c06a04c") }Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −> db.updatingDemo.find();This will produce the following output −{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e04dae5150ee0e76c06a04b"), "StudentName" : "Robert" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e04dae7150ee0e76c06a04c"), "StudentName" : "Bob" }Here is the query to update _id in MongoDB −> myDocument = db.updatingDemo.findOne({"StudentName":"Bob"}); { "_id" : ObjectId("5e04dae7150ee0e76c06a04c"), ...

To add a column, you need to update the collection. The syntax is as follows −db.getCollection(yourCollectionName).update({}, {$set: {"yourColumnName": "yourValue"}}, false, true);To understand the above syntax, let us create a collection with documents −> db.addColumnDemo.insertOne({"StudentId":101, "StudentName":"Chris"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e04d66af5e889d7a519950f") } > db.addColumnDemo.insertOne({"StudentId":102, "StudentName":"Robert"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e04d673f5e889d7a5199510") } > db.addColumnDemo.insertOne({"StudentId":103, "StudentName":"David"}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e04d67bf5e889d7a5199511") }Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −> db.addColumnDemo.find().pretty();This will produce the following output −{    "_id" : ObjectId("5e04d66af5e889d7a519950f"),   ...

To check for a specific value, use $in. Let us first create a collection with documents −> db.testInArray.insertOne({"ListOfNumbers":[10, 56, 78, 90, 32]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e04d42df5e889d7a519950d") } > db.testInArray.insertOne({"ListOfNumbers":[56, 78, 91, 100]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e04d588f5e889d7a519950e") }Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −> db.testInArray.find().pretty();This will produce the following output −{    "_id" : ObjectId("5e04d42df5e889d7a519950d"),    "ListOfNumbers" : [       10,       56,       78,       90,       32   ...

To copy rows into another collection, use MongoDB. The syntax is as follows wherein “yourOldCollectionName” is the old collection, whereas where this collection will get copied is our new collection i.e. “yourNewCollectionName” −db.yourOldCollectionName.aggregate([{ $sample: { size: 333333 }}, {$out: "yourNewCollectionName"} ], {allowDiskUse: true});Let us first create a collection with documents −> db.sourceCollection.insertOne({"EmployeeName":"Robert", "EmployeeSalary":15000}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e0397c1f5e889d7a5199506") } > db.sourceCollection.insertOne({"EmployeeName":"David", "EmployeeSalary":25000}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e0397c3f5e889d7a5199507") } > db.sourceCollection.insertOne({"EmployeeName":"Mike", "EmployeeSalary":29000}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e0397c4f5e889d7a5199508") }Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with ...

In this case, use the concept of index on a particular field. Let us first create a collection with documents. Here, we have created index as well using createIndex() −> db.decreasetimeusingindex.createIndex({"StudentName":1}); {    "createdCollectionAutomatically" : true,    "numIndexesBefore" : 1,    "numIndexesAfter" : 2,    "ok" : 1 } > db.decreasetimeusingindex.insertOne({"StudentName":"John Smith", "StudentAge":21}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e03960af5e889d7a51994ff") } > db.decreasetimeusingindex.insertOne({"StudentName":"John Doe", "StudentAge":24}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e039611f5e889d7a5199500") } > db.decreasetimeusingindex.insertOne({"StudentName":"Adam Smith", "StudentAge":22}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e03961df5e889d7a5199501") }Following is the query to display all documents from a ...

Extract a particular element from a nested array with the help of dot(.) notation. Let us first create a collection with documents −> db.extractParticularElementDemo.insertOne( ...    { ...       "_id" : 101, ...       "StudentName" : "John", ...       "StudentInformation" : [ ...          { ...             "Age" : 21, ...             "StudentPersonalInformation" : [ ...                { ...                   "StudentNickName" : "Mike", ...       ...

Use MongoDB $literal to set a string literal. Let us first create a collection with documents −>db.replacevaluedemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Chris", "StudentFavouriteSubject":{"TeacherName":"Bob", "SubjectCode":"MySQL111"}}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e0390a3f5e889d7a51994fd") } >db.replacevaluedemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Mike", "StudentFavouriteSubject":{"TeacherName":"David", "SubjectCode":"3221Java"}}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e0390b8f5e889d7a51994fe") }Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −> db.replacevaluedemo.find().pretty();This will produce the following output −{    "_id" : ObjectId("5e0390a3f5e889d7a51994fd"),    "StudentName" : "Chris",    "StudentFavouriteSubject" : {       "TeacherName" : "Bob",       "SubjectCode" : "MySQL111"    } } {    "_id" : ObjectId("5e0390b8f5e889d7a51994fe"),    "StudentName" ...

Use aggregation $gte and $lte along with $sum to count and sum a field between 2 dates. Let us first create a collection with documents −> db.countandsumdemo.insertOne({"Value":10, "created_at":ISODate('2019-10-11')}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e038e6df5e889d7a51994fa") } > db.countandsumdemo.insertOne({"Value":50, "created_at":ISODate('2019-01-31')}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e038e77f5e889d7a51994fb") } > db.countandsumdemo.insertOne({"Value":100, "created_at":ISODate('2019-06-31')}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e038e8af5e889d7a51994fc") }Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −> db.countandsumdemo.find().pretty();This will produce the following output −{    "_id" : ObjectId("5e038e6df5e889d7a51994fa"),    "Value" : 10,    "created_at" : ISODate("2019-10-11T00:00:00Z") ...

To create index in the background, use createIndex() method and set “background: true” as in the below syntax −db.yourCollectionName.createIndex({"yourFieldName1":1,"yourFieldName2":1},{background: true} );Let us implement the above syntax in order to create index and set background −> db.indexCreationDemo.createIndex({"StudentName":1,"StudentAge":1},{background: true} ); {    "createdCollectionAutomatically" : true,    "numIndexesBefore" : 1,    "numIndexesAfter" : 2,    "ok" : 1 }Let us display the indexes −> db.indexCreationDemo.getIndexes();This will produce the following output −[    {       "v" : 2,       "key" : {          "_id" : 1       },       "name" : "_id_",       "ns" : "web.indexCreationDemo"    },    {       "v" : 2,       "key" : {          "StudentName" : 1,          "StudentAge" : 1       },       "name" : "StudentName_1_StudentAge_1",       "ns" : "web.indexCreationDemo",       "background" : true    } ]
