mongodb query array of elemnts in a field - mongodb

I have array of _id's like
arr=["xxxx","yyyyy",zzzz"]
NOw I want to return all the docs of these ids from a collection like
coll.find({_id:{$in:{arr}})//must return xxx.yyy.zzz docs
this is returning all fields from collection, How to do this?
these are my docs
{_id:"xxx",
bvalue:"val",
cval:"val"
}
{_id:"yyy",
bvalue:"val",
cval:"val"
}
{_id:"zzz",
bvalue:"val",
cval:"val"
}
I need a query which returns all documents with id's in array
In my array I have id's xxx,yyy,zzz
so I want all these docs to return

The query is doing exactly what it is supposed to - returning the documents that match your query criteria. If you just want the _id's back, use projection:
db.coll.find({ "_id" : { "$in" : arr }, { "_id" : 1 })

mongodb query nesting instead of chaining arguments with dot [duplicate]

I have a problem when querying mongoDB with nested objects notation:
db.messages.find( { headers : { From: "reservations#marriott.com" } } ).count()
0
db.messages.find( { 'headers.From': "reservations#marriott.com" } ).count()
5
I can't see what I am doing wrong. I am expecting nested object notation to return the same result as the dot notation query. Where am I wrong?
db.messages.find( { headers : { From: "reservations#marriott.com" } } )
This queries for documents where headers equals { From: ... }, i.e. contains no other fields.
db.messages.find( { 'headers.From': "reservations#marriott.com" } )
This only looks at the headers.From field, not affected by other fields contained in, or missing from, headers.
Dot-notation docs
Since there is a lot of confusion about queries MongoDB collection with sub-documents, I thought its worth to explain the above answers with examples:
First I have inserted only two objects in the collection namely: message as:
> db.messages.find().pretty()
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5cce8e417d2e7b3fe9c93c32"),
"headers" : {
"From" : "reservations#marriott.com"
}
}
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5cce8eb97d2e7b3fe9c93c33"),
"headers" : {
"From" : "reservations#marriott.com",
"To" : "kprasad.iitd#gmail.com"
}
}

So what is the result of query: db.messages.find({headers: {From: "reservations#marriott.com"} }).count()
It should be one because these queries for documents where headers equal to the object {From: "reservations#marriott.com"}, only i.e. contains no other fields or we should specify the entire sub-document as the value of a field.
So as per the answer from #Edmondo1984
Equality matches within sub-documents select documents if the subdocument matches exactly the specified sub-document, including the field order.
From the above statements, what is the below query result should be?
> db.messages.find({headers: {To: "kprasad.iitd#gmail.com", From: "reservations#marriott.com"} }).count()
0
And what if we will change the order of From and To i.e same as sub-documents of second documents?
> db.messages.find({headers: {From: "reservations#marriott.com", To: "kprasad.iitd#gmail.com"} }).count()
1
so, it matches exactly the specified sub-document, including the field order.
For using dot operator, I think it is very clear for every one. Let's see the result of below query:
> db.messages.find( { 'headers.From': "reservations#marriott.com" } ).count()
2
I hope these explanations with the above example will make someone more clarity on find query with sub-documents.
The two query mechanism work in different ways, as suggested in the docs at the section Subdocuments:
When the field holds an embedded document (i.e, subdocument), you can either specify the entire subdocument as the value of a field, or “reach into” the subdocument using dot notation, to specify values for individual fields in the subdocument:
Equality matches within subdocuments select documents if the subdocument matches exactly the specified subdocument, including the field order.
In the following example, the query matches all documents where the value of the field producer is a subdocument that contains only the field company with the value 'ABC123' and the field address with the value '123 Street', in the exact order:
db.inventory.find( {
producer: {
company: 'ABC123',
address: '123 Street'
}
});

How to update multiple documents with multiple condtions in MongoDB?

I have a MongoDB collections with various documents. Now I have the input document Ids in an array of cars which I want to update. Something like this.
req.body =
{ cars: [ '584cf6c126df866138a29408', '5852819e9693c27c136104bd' ],
name: 'Home' },
{ cars: [ '584d638242795854a091cbbf', '5842e09e372b786355ba50e7' ],
name: 'Office' } ]
Expected Operation
db.cars.update({_id : req.body[i].cars}, {name : req.body[i].name}, {new : true});
Expected Result
All four documents with ids are updated with their name field in the document.
Now one way to update cars is to have an async.each applied on the array and an aysnc.each on these two documents. That's the longer way of doing it. I was hoping if I have one async.each for these two arrays and somehow could cramp both the documents in a single query it would make the code look more elegant.
I have already gone through several pages and still haven't found anything wanted to know if this is possible in mongo or not?
At first you may need to convert your car ids String type to mongodb ObjectId that means like:
cars: [ ObjectId'584cf6c126df866138a29408'), ObjectId'5852819e9693c27c136104bd') ]
then use $in operator to match with documents.
can try this.
var ObjectId = require('mongodb').ObjectID;
var cars = req.body[i].cars.map(function (id) {
return new ObjectId(id);
})
db.cars.update({_id : {$in: cars}},
{$set : {name : req.body[i].name}},
{multi : true},
function(err, docs) {
console.log(docs);
});
Try using $in of mongodb in find query while doing update. See query below:
Model.update({_id : {$in: req.body[i].cars}},
{$set : {name : req.body[i].name}},
{multi : true});
So this way you have to run 2 queries to update the names.
See $in-doc to know more about the uses.
Hope this will help you.

Mongodb : How to find documents in which fields match an ObjectId or a string?

I have some documents in a collection in Mongodb :
{_id : ObjectId('533af69b923967ac1801e113'), fKey : '533aeb09ebef89282c6cc478', ... }
{_id : ObjectId('5343bd1e2305566008434afc'), fKey : ObjectId('5343bd1e2305566008434afc'), ...} }
As you can see my field fkey can be set by a string or an ObjectId.
I would like to get all documents which match '533aeb09ebef89282c6cc478' or ObjectId('5343bd1e2305566008434afc').
But if i run :
db.mycollection.find({fkey : '533aeb09ebef89282c6cc478'})
I only get the first document of the collection.
Is there a way to configure Mongodb in order to get all documents which match the request without checking the type ?
Thanks for your help.

There are two options for you here.
You could use mongo's $or operator:
db.mycollection.find({
$or: [
{ fKey: '533aeb09ebef89282c6cc478' },
{ fKey: ObjectId( '533aeb09ebef89282c6cc478' ) }
]
})
The $or operator performs a logical OR operation on an array of two or more <expressions> and selects the documents that satisfy at least one of the <expressions>.
You could also use the $in operator:
db.mycollection.find({
fKey: {
"$in": [ '533aeb09ebef89282c6cc478', ObjectId( '533aeb09ebef89282c6cc478' ) ]
}
})
The $in operator selects the documents where the value of a field equals any value in the specified array.
It sounds to me like these inconsistencies are not meant to be there. I recommend going through your code and data pipelines and figure out who/what is inserting the fKey value with an unknown datatype.
