I'd like to execute an object query about how many documents have "JAVA" in the variable L5_tecnologias:
Screenshot with the data structure of variable L5_tecnologias
As you can see in the screenshot, I use the formula shown in the MongoDB manual (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/query-embedded-documents/), but it does not work. So I've tried the commands:
{ L5_tecnologias: { JAVA: "" } }
{ L5_tecnologias: ["JAVA"] }y
{ L5_tecnologias: "JAVA" }
but none of them work. Anyone can help?
Use dot notation with $exists.
db.collection.find({
"L5_tecnologias.JAVA": {
$exists: true
}
})

Use case
Adding a field to a specific object in an array of objects using updateOne during a bulkUpdateOps
Blockers
I have been unable to find a way to identify and update a specific object in the subdocument array of a specific record.
I only have access to this DB through MongoDB Compass, and I plan to use the provided mongosh tool.
Data example
Our purchaseorders model looks like this:
{
_id: uuid,
...rest,
documents:[
{
_id:uuid,
forignKey2:string (optional),
keyIWantToAdd:string (optional),
...rest
}
]
}
So if I have
{
_id:*1,
documents:[
{
_id:*2,
forignKey2:'no-test',
...rest
},
{
_id:*3,
forignKey2:'test',
...rest
},
]
}
I want to add a key and value like this (really I'm willing to do anything to set these values, this is just the closest I have been able to get):
var bulkUpdateOps = db.purchaseorders.initializeOrderedBulkOp();
bulkUpdateOps.find('*1').updateOne({
$set:{
documents.[index of document object with forignKey2:'test' or _id:*3 whichever is easier].keyIWantToAdd:'valueIWantToAdd'
}
})
bulkUpdateOps.execute();
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
#rickhg12hs posted exactly what I was looking for. For anyone else using mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/method/Bulk.find.arrayFilters the bulk find is being ran on an array of objects like this: { grades:[ { grade: 85, mean: number } ] }
I am trying to debug and issue with my mongo db queries, the one that I m trying to use now looks like this:
mongo query {
'$and': {
'$or': { name: /aaaq/i, 'metadata.description': /aaaq/i },
'$and': {
'admin.parentPath': '3e98c9f0-cbe9-4c27-b1af-ba43069907cc',
'admin.sharedWith': '78b43de0-47c2-495b-a3ad-afc9fb6c9815'
}
}
}
The ide is that I want to check if the name or metadata respect the same regex expression and if the admin.parentPath and admin.sharedWith have the correct value, is this query written correctly?
The initial query looked like this:
mongo query {
name: /aaaq/i,
'metadata.description': /aaaq/i,
'admin.parentPath': '3e98c9f0-cbe9-4c27-b1af-ba43069907cc',
'admin.sharedWith': '78b43de0-47c2-495b-a3ad-afc9fb6c9815'
}
But I think that this one put AND between all conditions
{
questions: {
q1: "",
}
}
result after updating:
{
questions: {
q1: "",
q2: ""
}
}
I want to add q2 inside questions, without overwritting what's already inside it (q1).
One solution I found is to get the whole document, and modify it on my backend, and send the whole document to replace the current one. But it seems really in-effiecient as I have other fields in the document as well.
Is there a query that does it more efficiently? I looked at the mongodb docs, didn't seem to find a query that does it.
As turivishal said, you can use $set like this
But you also can use $addFields in this way:
db.collection.aggregate([
{
"$match": {
"questions.q1": "q1"
}
},
{
"$addFields": {
"questions.q2": "q2"
}
}
])
Example here
Also, reading your comment where you say Cannot create field 'q2' in element {questions: "q1"}. It seems your original schema is not the same you have into your DB.
Your schema says that questions is an object with field q1. But your error says that questions is the field and q1 the value.
db.students.find( { grades: { $elemMatch: {
mean: { $gt: 70 },
grade: { $gt:90 }
} } },
{ "grades.$": 1 } )
this is on official mongodb document, I have troubling translate them into mongoengine clause.
Can anybody translate this mongodb clause into mongoengine clause?
Because I have a embedded document in an array, I need to filter something inside the embedded document, I found this on the document, but don't know the exactly way to translate it. thank you!
I got the answer, but I do it another way around, I implement elasticsearch into my mongodb to be the search engine, so that's not the problem
I am totally new to MongoDB... I am missing a "newbie" tag, so the experts would not have to see this question.
I am trying to update all documents in a collection using an expression. The query I was expecting to solve this was:
db.QUESTIONS.update({}, { $set: { i_pp : i_up * 100 - i_down * 20 } }, false, true);
That, however, results in the following error message:
ReferenceError: i_up is not defined (shell):1
At the same time, the database did not have any problem with eating this one:
db.QUESTIONS.update({}, { $set: { i_pp : 0 } }, false, true);
Do I have to do this one document at a time or something? That just seems excessively complicated.
Update
Thank you Sergio Tulentsev for telling me that it does not work. Now, I am really struggling with how to do this. I offer 500 Profit Points to the helpful soul, who can write this in a way that MongoDB understands. If you register on our forum I can add the Profit Points to your account there.
I just came across this while searching for the MongoDB equivalent of SQL like this:
update t
set c1 = c2
where ...
Sergio is correct that you can't reference another property as a value in a straight update. However, db.c.find(...) returns a cursor and that cursor has a forEach method:
Queries to MongoDB return a cursor, which can be iterated to retrieve
results. The exact way to query will vary with language driver.
Details below focus on queries from the MongoDB shell (i.e. the
mongo process).
The shell find() method returns a cursor object which we can then iterate to retrieve specific documents from the result. We use
hasNext() and next() methods for this purpose.
for( var c = db.parts.find(); c.hasNext(); ) {
print( c.next());
}
Additionally in the shell, forEach() may be used with a cursor:
db.users.find().forEach( function(u) { print("user: " + u.name); } );
So you can say things like this:
db.QUESTIONS.find({}, {_id: true, i_up: true, i_down: true}).forEach(function(q) {
db.QUESTIONS.update(
{ _id: q._id },
{ $set: { i_pp: q.i_up * 100 - q.i_down * 20 } }
);
});
to update them one at a time without leaving MongoDB.
If you're using a driver to connect to MongoDB then there should be some way to send a string of JavaScript into MongoDB; for example, with the Ruby driver you'd use eval:
connection.eval(%q{
db.QUESTIONS.find({}, {_id: true, i_up: true, i_down: true}).forEach(function(q) {
db.QUESTIONS.update(
{ _id: q._id },
{ $set: { i_pp: q.i_up * 100 - q.i_down * 20 } }
);
});
})
Other languages should be similar.
//the only differnce is to make it look like and aggregation pipeline
db.table.updateMany({}, [{
$set: {
col3:{"$sum":["$col1","$col2"]}
},
}]
)
You can't use expressions in updates. Or, rather, you can't use expressions that depend on fields of the document. Simple self-containing math expressions are fine (e.g. 2 * 2).
If you want to set a new field for all documents that is a function of other fields, you have to loop over them and update manually. Multi-update won't help here.
Rha7 gave a good idea, but the code above is not work without defining a temporary variable.
This sample code produces an approximate calculation of the age (leap years behinds the scene) based on 'birthday' field and inserts the value into suitable field for all documents not containing such:
db.employers.find({age: {$exists: false}}).forEach(function(doc){
var new_age = parseInt((ISODate() - doc.birthday)/(3600*1000*24*365));
db.employers.update({_id: doc._id}, {$set: {age: new_age}});
});
Example to remove "00" from the beginning of a caller id:
db.call_detail_records_201312.find(
{ destination: /^001/ },
{ "destination": true }
).forEach(function(row){
db.call_detail_records_201312.update(
{ _id: row["_id"] },
{ $set: {
destination: row["destination"].replace(/^001/, '1')
}
}
)
});
