I have three collections in EmployeeDB.
Employee
{
"user_id" : "EMP001",
"FirstName" : "Manoj",
"LastName" : "sharma",
"Status" : "0/1",
"CreateDate" : "1988-10-11T18:30:00.000Z"
}
EmpContact
{
"user_id" : "EMP001",
"Phone" : "9999999999",
"Email" : "xyz#gmail.com"
}
EmpInfo
{
"user_id" : "EMP001",
"Gender" : "Male",
"Age" : NumberInt(20),
"Designation" : "manager",
"Salary" : "5000"
}
I need to group the three collections and display all fields.
I tried the below code,
db.Employee.aggregate([
{$lookup: {from: "EmpContact",localField: "user_id",foreignField: "user_id",as: "contact"}},
{$unwind:"$EmpContact"},
{$lookup: {from: "EmpInfo",localField: "user_id",foreignField: "user_id",as: "empinfo"}},
{$unwind:"$EmpInfo"},
{
$match:{user_id : "EMP001"}
}
]).toArray();
But I got an empty array, Please help me...
The problem comes from your $unwind.
Since you name your field as contact in the $lookup, the field EmpContact doesn't exist.
The same thing for the second unwind, EmpInfo doesn't exist but empinfo does
Here is the full query
db.Employee.aggregate([
{
$lookup: {
from: "EmpContact",
localField: "user_id",
foreignField: "user_id",
as: "contact"
}
},
{
$unwind: "$contact"
},
{
$lookup: {
from: "EmpContact",
localField: "user_id",
foreignField: "user_id",
as: "empinfo"
}
},
{
$unwind: "$empinfo"
},
{
$match: {
user_id: "EMP001"
}
}
])

I successfully thanks to the help of the people here managed to $lookup two IDs in my document with their representive document in another collection. The next step I need to take is to further lookup a "nested" ID (refering to a document in another collection).
I tried to simply put another $lookup pipeline up but that just worked part-wise.
So it happens that an "empty" document was included into the chieftain attributes and all other attributes of chieftain where somewhat removed.
See my current aggregate:
db.getCollection('village').aggregate([
{
"$match": { _id: "111" }
},
{
"$lookup": {
from: "character",
localField: "chieftainId",
foreignField: "_id",
as: "chieftain"
}
},
{
"$lookup": {
from: "character",
localField: "villagerIds",
foreignField: "_id",
as: "villagers"
}
},
{
"$lookup": {
from: "bloodline",
localField: "chieftain.bloodline",
foreignField: "_id",
as: "chieftain.bloodline"
}
},
{ "$project" : { "villagerIds" : 0, "chieftainId" : 0}},
{ "$unwind" : "$chieftain" }
])
The result of that is the following:
{
"_id" : "111",
"name" : "MyVillage",
"reputation" : 0,
"chieftain" : {
"bloodline" : []
},
"villagers" : [
{
"_id" : "333",
"name" : "Bortan",
"age" : 21,
"bloodlineId" : "7f02191f-90af-406e-87ff-41d5b4387999",
"villageId" : "foovillage",
"professionId" : "02cbb10a-6c0f-4249-a932-3f40e12d32c5"
},
{
"_id" : "444",
"name" : "Blendi",
"age" : 21,
"bloodlineId" : "b3a8ffeb-27aa-4e2e-a8e6-b382554f326a",
"villageId" : "foovillage",
"professionId" : "45dc9350-c84a-491d-a49a-524834dd5773"
}
]
}
I expected the chieftain part to look like this (this is how the chieftain document looks like without the 'last' $lookup I added):
"chieftain" : {
"_id" : "222",
"name" : "Bolzan",
"age" : 21,
"bloodlineId" : "7c2926f9-2f20-4ccf-846a-c9966970fa9b", // this should be resolved/lookedup
"villageId" : "foovillage",
},
At the point of the lookup, chieftan is an array, so setting the chieftan.bloodline replaces the array with an object containing only the bloodline field.
Move the { "$unwind" : "$chieftain" } stage to before the bloodline lookup stage so the lookup is dealing with an object.
I have the following aggregate query:
db.getCollection('village').aggregate([
{
"$match": { _id: "111" }
},
{
"$lookup": {
from: "character",
localField: "chieftainId",
foreignField: "_id",
as: "chieftain"
},
"$lookup": {
from: "character",
localField: "villagerIds",
foreignField: "_id",
as: "villager"
}
},
{ "$project" : { "villagerIds" : 0}}
])
And this is its result:
{
"_id" : "111",
"name" : "MyVillage",
"chieftainId" : "222",
"reputation" : 0,
"villagers" : [
{
"_id" : "333",
"name" : "Bortan",
"age" : 21,
"bloodlineId" : "7f02191f-90af-406e-87ff-41d5b4387999",
"villageId" : "foovillage",
"professionId" : "02cbb10a-6c0f-4249-a932-3f40e12d32c5"
},
{
"_id" : "444",
"name" : "Blendi",
"age" : 21,
"bloodlineId" : "b3a8ffeb-27aa-4e2e-a8e6-b382554f326a",
"villageId" : "foovillage",
"professionId" : "45dc9350-c84a-491d-a49a-524834dd5773"
}
]
}
As you can see villagerIds has been resolved to villagers. However chieftainId has not been resolved to chieftain. When I omit the second $lookup (with villager) then chieftain is being resolved successfully. It seems that only one $lookup will be effective and not both. Any idea how I can make both work?
Use separate pipeline for both $lookup
db.getCollection('village').aggregate([
{
"$match": { _id: "111" }
},
{
"$lookup": {
from: "character",
localField: "chieftainId",
foreignField: "_id",
as: "chieftain"
}
},
{
"$lookup": {
from: "character",
localField: "villagerIds",
foreignField: "_id",
as: "villager"
}
},
{ "$project" : { "villagerIds" : 0}}
])
I was trying to join multiple collections in MongoDB using the aggregate $lookup.The issue I am facing right now $lookup localField attribute does not accept $ character.
I have following three collections.
student
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5db12e6dfc368dff1cfc30e5"),
"studentId" : "S97YAREA51",
"name" : "Has Maara duwa",
"age" : 22
}
course
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5db12e6dfc368dff1cfc20e5"),
"courseId" : "C04865690",
"courseName" : "Love and Empathy"
}
studentCourse
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5db12e6dfc368dff1cfc10e5"),
"student" : {
"$ref" : "student",
"$id" : ObjectId("5db12e6dfc368dff1cfc30e5")
},
"course" : {
"$ref" : "course",
"$id" : ObjectId("5db12e6dfc368dff1cfc20e5")
}
}
I need to update studentCourse collection records to something like below.
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5db12e6dfc368dff1cfc10e5"),
"student" : {
"$ref" : "student",
"$id" : ObjectId("5db12e6dfc368dff1cfc30e5")
},
"course" : {
"$ref" : "course",
"$id" : ObjectId("5db12e6dfc368dff1cfc20e5")
},
"studentId" : "S97YAREA51",
"courseId" : "C04865690"
}
I tried to create the following aggregation query, but it was failing due to localField does not accept $ character. I would be much appreciated if somebody provides me a simple solution for this matter.
db.studentCourse.aggregate([
{
$lookup:{
from: "student",
localField: "student.$id",
foreignField: "_id",
as: "student"
}
},
{ $unwind:"$student" }, // $unwind used for getting data in object or for one record only
{
$lookup:{
from: "course",
localField: "course.$id",
foreignField: "_id",
as: "course"
}
},
{ $unwind:"$course" },
// define which fields are you want to fetch
{
$project:{
"_id" : 1,
"student" : 1,
"course" : 1,
"studentId" : "$student.studentId",
"courseId" : "$course.courseId",
}
}
]);
I want to join more than two collections in MongoDB using the aggregate $lookup. Is it possible to join? Give me some examples.
Here I have three collections:
users:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5684f3c454b1fd6926c324fd"),
"email" : "admin#gmail.com",
"userId" : "AD",
"userName" : "admin"
}
userinfo:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("56d82612b63f1c31cf906003"),
"userId" : "AD",
"phone" : "0000000000"
}
userrole:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("56d82612b63f1c31cf906003"),
"userId" : "AD",
"role" : "admin"
}
The join feature supported by Mongodb 3.2 and later versions. You can use joins by using aggregate query.
You can do it using below example :
db.users.aggregate([
// Join with user_info table
{
$lookup:{
from: "userinfo", // other table name
localField: "userId", // name of users table field
foreignField: "userId", // name of userinfo table field
as: "user_info" // alias for userinfo table
}
},
{ $unwind:"$user_info" }, // $unwind used for getting data in object or for one record only
// Join with user_role table
{
$lookup:{
from: "userrole",
localField: "userId",
foreignField: "userId",
as: "user_role"
}
},
{ $unwind:"$user_role" },
// define some conditions here
{
$match:{
$and:[{"userName" : "admin"}]
}
},
// define which fields are you want to fetch
{
$project:{
_id : 1,
email : 1,
userName : 1,
userPhone : "$user_info.phone",
role : "$user_role.role",
}
}
]);
This will give result like this:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5684f3c454b1fd6926c324fd"),
"email" : "admin#gmail.com",
"userName" : "admin",
"userPhone" : "0000000000",
"role" : "admin"
}
Hope this will help you or someone else.
Thanks
You can actually chain multiple $lookup stages. Based on the names of the collections shared by profesor79, you can do this :
db.sivaUserInfo.aggregate([
{
$lookup: {
from: "sivaUserRole",
localField: "userId",
foreignField: "userId",
as: "userRole"
}
},
{
$unwind: "$userRole"
},
{
$lookup: {
from: "sivaUserInfo",
localField: "userId",
foreignField: "userId",
as: "userInfo"
}
},
{
$unwind: "$userInfo"
}
])
This will return the following structure :
{
"_id" : ObjectId("56d82612b63f1c31cf906003"),
"userId" : "AD",
"phone" : "0000000000",
"userRole" : {
"_id" : ObjectId("56d82612b63f1c31cf906003"),
"userId" : "AD",
"role" : "admin"
},
"userInfo" : {
"_id" : ObjectId("56d82612b63f1c31cf906003"),
"userId" : "AD",
"phone" : "0000000000"
}
}
Maybe this could be considered an anti-pattern because MongoDB wasn't meant to be relational but it is useful.
According to the documentation, $lookup can join only one external collection.
What you could do is to combine userInfo and userRole in one collection, as provided example is based on relational DB schema. Mongo is noSQL database - and this require different approach for document management.
Please find below 2-step query, which combines userInfo with userRole - creating new temporary collection used in last query to display combined data.
In last query there is an option to use $out and create new collection with merged data for later use.
create collections
db.sivaUser.insert(
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5684f3c454b1fd6926c324fd"),
"email" : "admin#gmail.com",

"userName" : "admin"

db.sivaUserRole.insert(
{

"join" them all :-)
db.sivaUserInfo.aggregate([
{$lookup:

from: "sivaUserRole",
localField: "userId",
foreignField: "userId",
as: "userRole"
}
},
{
$unwind:"$userRole"
},
{
$project:{

"userId" : 1,
"phone" : 1,

}
},
{

db.sivaUserTmp.aggregate([
{$lookup:

foreignField: "userId",

{

"_id":1,
"userId" : 1,
"phone" : 1,
"role" :1,
"email" : "$user.email",

}
}
])
First add the collections and then apply lookup on these collections. Don't use $unwind
as unwind will simply separate all the documents of each collections. So apply simple lookup and then use $project for projection.
Here is mongoDB query:
db.userInfo.aggregate([
{
$lookup: {
from: "userRole",
localField: "userId",
foreignField: "userId",
as: "userRole"
}
},
{
$lookup: {

localField: "userId",
foreignField: "userId",
as: "userInfo"
}
},
{$project: {
"_id":0,
"userRole._id":0,
"userInfo._id":0
}
} ])
Here is the output:
/* 1 */ {
"userId" : "AD",
"phone" : "0000000000",
"userRole" : [
{
"userId" : "AD",
"role" : "admin"
}
],
"userInfo" : [
{
"userId" : "AD",
"phone" : "0000000000"
