• Start the MongoDB server using the appropriate command for your operating system (e.g.,
mongod on Windows, mongod on Linux).

3. Connect to MongoDB:

• Open a new terminal or command prompt window.

• Use the mongo command to connect to the MongoDB shell:

Bash

mongo

4. Create a Database:

• In the MongoDB shell, create a database using the use command:

JavaScript
use your_database_name

Replace your_database_name with the desired name for your database.

5. Create a Collection:

• A collection is like a table in a relational database. Create a collection using the createCollection
command:

JavaScript

db.createCollection("your_collection_name")

Replace your_collection_name with the desired name for your collection.

6. Insert Sample Documents:

• Insert sample documents into the collection using the insertOne or insertMany commands. For
example, to insert a single document:

JavaScript

db.your_collection_name.insertOne({

"_id": 1,

"name": "John Doe",

"age": 30,

"city": "New York"

})

To insert multiple documents:

JavaScript

db.your_collection_name.insertMany([

{ "_id": 2, "name": "Jane Smith", "age": 25, "city": "Los Angeles" },

{ "_id": 3, "name": "Michael Johnson", "age": 35, "city": "Chicago" }

])

7. View the Data:

• Use the find command to retrieve and view the inserted documents:

JavaScript

db.your_collection_name.find()

This will display all documents in the collection.

JavaScript

use my_sample_database

db.createCollection("users")

db.users.insertOne({ "_id": 1, "name": "Alice", "email": "alice@example.com" })

db.users.insertMany([

{ "_id": 2, "name": "Bob", "email": "bob@example.com" },

{ "_id": 3, "name": "Charlie", "email": "charlie@example.com" }

])

db.users.find()

This will create a database named my_sample_database, a collection named users, and insert three
sample documents into the collection. You can then use the find command to view the inserted data.

Creating Aggregate Queries in MongoDB

Aggregate queries in MongoDB are powerful tools for performing complex data transformations and
analysis. They allow you to group data, apply various aggregation operators, and create custom data
structures.

Here are some examples of aggregate queries:

1. Grouping and Counting Documents

• Grouping by a field:

JavaScript

db.your_collection.aggregate([

{ $group: { _id: "$field_to_group_by", count: { $sum: 1 } } }

])

This will group documents by the specified field and count the number of documents in each group.

• Grouping by multiple fields:

JavaScript

db.your_collection.aggregate([

{ $group: { _id: { field1: "$field1", field2: "$field2" }, count: { $sum: 1 } } }

])

This will group documents by a combination of two fields.

• Calculating the average of a field:

JavaScript

db.your_collection.aggregate([

{ $group: { _id: null, average: { $avg: "$field" } } }

])

This will calculate the average value of the specified field across all documents.

• Calculating the sum of a field:

JavaScript

db.your_collection.aggregate([

{ $group: { _id: null, sum: { $sum: "$field" } } }

])

This will calculate the sum of the specified field across all documents.

• Finding the minimum and maximum values of a field:

JavaScript

db.your_collection.aggregate([

{ $group: { _id: null, min: { $min: "$field" }, max: { $max: "$field" } } }

])

This will find the minimum and maximum values of the specified field across all documents.

3. Projecting Specific Fields

• Projecting only certain fields:

JavaScript

db.your_collection.aggregate([

{ $project: { field1: 1, field2: 1, _id: 0 } }

])

This will project only the specified fields and exclude the _id field.

4. Sorting Results

• Sorting results by a field:

JavaScript
db.your_collection.aggregate([

{ $sort: { field: 1 } } // Ascending order

])

This will sort the results in ascending order based on the specified field.

5. Matching Documents

• Matching documents based on criteria:

JavaScript

db.your_collection.aggregate([

{ $match: { field: { $gt: 10 } } }

])

This will match documents where the specified field is greater than 10.

6. Unwinding Arrays

• Unwinding arrays:

JavaScript

db.your_collection.aggregate([

{ $unwind: "$array_field" }

])

This will unwind an array field, creating a separate document for each element in the array.

Remember to replace your_collection, field_to_group_by, field, and other placeholders with your actual
collection name, field names, and criteria.

By combining these aggregate stages, you can perform a wide range of data analysis tasks in MongoDB.

Creating a Bookstore Database with Books Collection and Sample Data

1. Connect to MongoDB

Bash

mongo

2. Create a Database and Collection

JavaScript

use bookstore

db.createCollection("books")
3. Insert Sample Books Data

JavaScript

db.books.insertMany([

title: "To Kill a Mockingbird",

author: "Harper Lee",

genre: "Fiction",

price: 19.99,

publicationDate: new Date("1960-07-11")

},

title: "1984",

author: "George Orwell",

genre: "Dystopian",

price: 14.99,

publicationDate: new Date("1949-06-06")

},

title: "Pride and Prejudice",

author: "Jane Austen",

genre: "Romance",

price: 12.99,

publicationDate: new Date("1813-01-28")

},

title: "The Lord of the Rings",

author: "J.R.R. Tolkien",

genre: "Fantasy",

price: 29.99,
 publicationDate: new Date("1954-11-29")

},

title: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy",

author: "Douglas Adams",

genre: "Science Fiction",

price: 16.99,

publicationDate: new Date("1979-03-12")

])

Explanation of the Data

• title: The title of the book.

• author: The author of the book.

• genre: The genre of the book.

• price: The price of the book.

• publicationDate: The publication date of the book.

Additional Notes

• You can customize the data structure to include more or fewer fields based on your specific
requirements.

• For more complex data, consider using nested objects or arrays.

• You can use MongoDB's indexing features to improve query performance on frequently
accessed fields.

• For date-based queries, you can use MongoDB's date operators.

By following these steps, you've created a basic bookstore database with sample book data. You can
now perform various operations like querying, updating, and deleting books using MongoDB's query
language.

Creating Aggregate Queries for the "Books" Collection

1. Find the average price of books by genre:

JavaScript

db.books.aggregate([
 { $group: { _id: "$genre", avgPrice: { $avg: "$price" } } }

])

2. Find the book with the highest price:

JavaScript

db.books.aggregate([

{ $sort: { price: -1 } },

{ $limit: 1 }

])

3. Find the number of books published in each year:

JavaScript

db.books.aggregate([

{ $group: { _id: { $year: "$publicationDate" }, count: { $sum: 1 } } }

])

4. Find the total number of books by each author:

JavaScript

db.books.aggregate([

{ $group: { _id: "$author", count: { $sum: 1 } } }

])

5. Find all books published after a certain date:

JavaScript

db.books.aggregate([

{ $match: { publicationDate: { $gt: new Date("2000-01-01") } } }

])

6. Find the top 3 bestselling books (assuming you have a "sales" field):

JavaScript

db.books.aggregate([

{ $sort: { sales: -1 } },

{ $limit: 3 }

])
7. Find the average price of books by genre, but only for books published after a certain year:

JavaScript

db.books.aggregate([

{ $match: { publicationDate: { $gt: new Date("2010-01-01") } } },

{ $group: { _id: "$genre", avgPrice: { $avg: "$price" } } }

])

8. Find the total revenue generated by each genre:

JavaScript

db.books.aggregate([

{ $group: { _id: "$genre", totalRevenue: { $sum: { $multiply: ["$price", "$sales"] } } } }

])

Remember to replace sales with the actual field name if you have a field to track book sales.

These are just a few examples of aggregate queries you can use with your "books" collection. You can
combine and customize these queries to get the specific insights you need.

Inserting More Documents into the "Books" Collection

Here are some examples of queries to insert additional documents into your "books" collection:

Inserting a Single Document

JavaScript

db.books.insertOne({

title: "The Great Gatsby",

author: "F. Scott Fitzgerald",

genre: "Fiction",

price: 17.99,

publicationDate: new Date("1925-04-10")

});

Inserting Multiple Documents

JavaScript

db.books.insertMany([

{
 title: "The Catcher in the Rye",

author: "J.D. Salinger",

genre: "Fiction",

price: 15.99,

publicationDate: new Date("1951-07-16")

},

title: "The Alchemist",

author: "Paulo Coelho",

genre: "Fiction",

price: 13.99,

publicationDate: new Date("1988-05-20")

]);

Inserting a Document with a Specific _id

JavaScript

db.books.insertOne({

_id: ObjectId("64d31f5898b9244563721727"),

title: "The Little Prince",

author: "Antoine de Saint-Exupéry",

genre: "Fiction",

price: 12.99,

publicationDate: new Date("1943-04-06")

});

Inserting a Document with a Timestamp

JavaScript

db.books.insertOne({

title: "Slaughterhouse-Five",

author: "Kurt Vonnegut",

price: 18.99,

publicationDate: new Date(), // Current timestamp

createdAt: new Date()

});

Remember to replace the placeholder values with the actual data for your new books. You can also
include additional fields as needed to store more information about your books.

For more complex insertion scenarios, consider using MongoDB's bulk write operations or aggregation
pipelines.

I'd be glad to help you with MongoDB find queries. Here's a comprehensive guide, incorporating insights
from the provided ratings:

Basic Find Query

The most fundamental find query retrieves all documents from a collection:

JavaScript

db.collectionName.find();

Filtering Documents

To filter documents based on specific criteria, use the find() method with a query object:

JavaScript

db.collectionName.find({ field: value });

Replace field with the field name and value with the desired value.

Example:

JavaScript

db.books.find({ author: "J.R.R. Tolkien" });

Logical Operators

Use logical operators to combine multiple conditions:

• $and: Matches documents that satisfy all specified conditions.

• $or: Matches documents that satisfy at least one of the specified conditions.

• $not: Negates the specified condition.

Example:

JavaScript
db.products.find({ $and: [{ price: { $gt: 10 } }, { inStock: true }] });

Comparison Operators

Compare fields to specific values:

• $eq: Equal to

• $ne: Not equal to

• $gt: Greater than

• $gte: Greater than or equal to

• $lt: Less than

• $lte: Less than or equal to

Example:

JavaScript

db.customers.find({ age: { $gte: 18 } });

Regular Expressions

Use regular expressions for pattern matching:

JavaScript

db.books.find({ title: /The Lord of the Rings/ });

Array Queries

Query arrays within documents:

• $in: Matches elements in an array.

• $nin: Matches elements not in an array.

• $all: Matches all elements in an array.

• $size: Matches arrays of a specific size.

Example:

JavaScript

db.orders.find({ items: { $in: ["apple", "banana"] } });

Projection

Control which fields to return:

JavaScript

db.books.find({}, { projection: { title: 1, author: 1, _id: 0 } });

Sort results:

JavaScript

db.products.find().sort({ price: 1 }); // Ascending order

db.products.find().sort({ price: -1 }); // Descending order

Pagination

Limit and skip results:

JavaScript

db.books.find().skip(10).limit(5);

Additional Tips

• Use indexes for efficient querying on frequently accessed fields.

• Consider using aggregation pipelines for more complex queries.

• Explore MongoDB's rich query language for advanced scenarios.

By mastering these techniques, you can effectively query your MongoDB data and extract valuable
insights.
