Constructing Queries on Databases, Collections, and Documents

MongoDB's query language, based on the JSON format, provides a powerful and flexible way to
interact with your data. Let's explore some fundamental query operations:
Basic Queries
● Finding All Documents:
db.collectionName.find()

● Finding Documents by Specific Field:


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

● Projection:
db.collectionName.find({}, { field1: 1, field2: 1 }) // Project
only field1 and field2

Query Operators
● Comparison Operators:
db.collectionName.find({ age: { $gt: 18, $lt: 30 } }) // Age
between 18 and 30

● Logical Operators:
db.collectionName.find({ $or: [{ age: { $gt: 30 } }, { city: "New
York" }] }) // Age greater than 30 OR city is New York

● Regular Expressions:
db.collectionName.find({ name: /John/i }) // Case-insensitive
search for "John"

● Array Operators:
db.collectionName.find({ hobbies: "coding" }) // Find documents
with "coding" in the hobbies array

Aggregation Pipeline
The aggregation pipeline allows you to group, transform, and summarize data.
db.collectionName.aggregate([
{ $group: { _id: "$country", total: { $sum: 1 } } },
{ $sort: { total: -1 } }
])

This pipeline groups documents by country, counts the number of documents in each group,
and sorts the results by total count in descending order.
Example: Finding Users Older Than 30
db.users.find({ age: { $gt: 30 } })

Example: Finding Products Priced Between $10 and $20


db.products.find({ price: { $gt: 10, $lt: 20 } })

Example: Finding Documents with a Specific Tag


db.posts.find({ tags: "mongodb" })
Remember to practice and experiment with different query combinations to fully leverage
MongoDB's querying capabilities. By understanding the core concepts and operators, you can
efficiently retrieve and analyze your data.
