1) Creating Record:

Record can be inserted using:

db.tableName.insert()
db.tableName.insertOne()
db.tableName.insertMany()

• .insert() can accept single or multiple records. Returns WriteResult/BulkWriteResult.

Example showing inserting one record

db.tableName.insert(
{
name: "John",
age: 23,
skills: {
    programming: "PHP, Java, Python",
    database: "MongoDB, SQLITE"
}
}
)

Example showing Multiple Records

db.inventory.insert([
   { item: "journal", qty: 25, status: "A", size: { h: 14, w: 21, uom: "cm" }, tags: [ "blank", "red" ] },
   { item: "notebook", qty: 50, status: "A", size: { h: 8.5, w: 11, uom: "in" }, tags: [ "red", "blank" ] },
   { item: "paper", qty: 10, status: "D", size: { h: 8.5, w: 11, uom: "in" }, tags: [ "red", "blank", "plain" ] },
   { item: "planner", qty: 0, status: "D", size: { h: 22.85, w: 30, uom: "cm" }, tags: [ "blank", "red" ] },
   { item: "postcard", qty: 45, status: "A", size: { h: 10, w: 15.25, uom: "cm" }, tags: [ "blue" ] }
])

• .insertOne() accept one record at a time. Returns record id inserted.

db.tableName.insertOne(
{
name: "John",
age: 23,
skills: {
    programming: "PHP, Java, Python",
    database: "MongoDB, SQLITE"
}
}
)

• .insetMany() accept multiple record at a time. Return record ids inserted.

db.inventory.insertMany([
   { item: "journal", qty: 25, status: "A", size: { h: 14, w: 21, uom: "cm" }, tags: [ "blank", "red" ] },
   { item: "notebook", qty: 50, status: "A", size: { h: 8.5, w: 11, uom: "in" }, tags: [ "red", "blank" ] },
   { item: "paper", qty: 10, status: "D", size: { h: 8.5, w: 11, uom: "in" }, tags: [ "red", "blank", "plain" ] },
   { item: "planner", qty: 0, status: "D", size: { h: 22.85, w: 30, uom: "cm" }, tags: [ "blank", "red" ] },
   { item: "postcard", qty: 45, status: "A", size: { h: 10, w: 15.25, uom: "cm" }, tags: [ "blue" ] }
])

2. Reading Record

• To see all tables (It is called as collections)

show collections

• To read all records

db.tableName.find()

or

db.tableName.find({})

• To return data in readable format

  db.tableName.find().pretty()

• To find a record with name = John inside tableName table:

db.tableName.find({name: "John"})

• To find all record returning name key:

db.tableName.find({}, {name:1})

or to exclude _id

db.tableName.find({}, {name:1, _id:0})

3. Modifying/Update the Record

*Note: If the field to be update doesn't exsists, it will be added, else it will be updated*

To update all record in the table

db.tableName.updateMany({}, {$set: {status: "Active"}})

To update all record matching query

Update data from table where name = John

db.tableName.updateMany({name: "John"}, {$set: {status: "Inactive"}})

To update first matching query record

db.tableName.updateOne({name: "John"}, {$set: {status: "Active"}})

Overwrite/Replace record
update record with name = john by deleting exsisting keys and values and add newKey with Value

db.tableName.update({name: "John"}, {newKey: "Value"})

Replace Record

db.tableName.replaceOne({_id: ObjectId("sh9oiulukskji")}, {newKey: "Value"})

4. Deleting Record

To delete all record matching query

Delete data from table where name = John

db.tableName.deleteMany({name: "John"})

To delete one First matching query record

db.tableName.deleteOne({name: "John"})

Delete all records

db.tableName.remove()

Delete Table/Collections

db.tableName.drop()

Notes:

• .find() won’t return all records if record set is large. For example out of 100 Record it will return 10 and wait for input for fetching next 10 records. It is like pagination. to view all data we can use .forEach() function. e.g.

db.tableName.find({}).forEach((data)=>{printjson(data)})
