Data Store for
JSON Objects
{
“Name” : “Rose Tyler”
}

6. JSON Objects
A JSON Object is a
collection of key/
value pairs {
"name" : "Rose Tyler",
Keys are simple "race" : "Human",
strings "body parts" : [ "head", "legs"]
}

14. CRUD Operations
Create, Read, Update and Destroy Data
Friday, March 1, 13

15. Mongo CRUD
Create is called insert
Read is called find
Update is called update
Destroy is called remove
Friday, March 1, 13

16. Mongo CRUD
db.highscore.insert ({"name":"Tom", "score":94});
db.highscore.find ({"name" : "Tom" })
db.highscore.update ({"name" : "Tom"},
{"$inc" : { "score" : 1 } });
db.highscore.remove ({"name" : "Tom"});
Friday, March 1, 13

17. Inserting Data
Use the command insert or save to insert a new object
db.collection.insert( obj );
db.collection.insert( array );
Friday, March 1, 13

18. Inserting Data
Inserting to a new collection creates the collection
Inserting an object with an _id key, it is used as the
object’s id (and must be unique).
Friday, March 1, 13

19. Demo: Insert
Friday, March 1, 13

20. Reading Data
find and findOne perform read operations
Both take a query
find returns a cursor
findOne returns an object Optional: Fields to
fetch
db.collection.find( <query>, <projection> )
Friday, March 1, 13

21. Query Document
An empty (or missing) query document returns
everything
db.collection.find({})
db.collection.find()
Friday, March 1, 13

22. Query Document
Each key/value pair in the query document imposes a
condition on the results (objects that match).
db.movies.find({ “genre” : “indie” });
db.books.find({“pages” : { “$gt” : 100 }});
Friday, March 1, 13

23. Query Document
Query Object
Each key/value pair in the query document imposes a
condition on the results (objects that match).
db.movies.find({ “genre” : “indie” });
db.books.find({“pages” : { “$gt” : 100 }});
Friday, March 1, 13

24. Query Document
A compound query means a logical AND on the
conditions.
db.inventory.find(
{
“type” : “snacks”,
“available” : { “$lt” : 10 }
});

The general form for update is:
db.collection.update(
<query>, <update>, <options> )
Which Entries What to do with
to update them
Friday, March 1, 13

30. Update
Some Update Operators
“$set”, “$inc”
“$push”, “$pushAll”, “$addToSet”
“$pop”, “$pull”, “$pullAll”
Friday, March 1, 13

31. Update: set
$set modifies a value or add a new value
Example:
db.posts.update(
{ title: “Why Is Your Cat Unhappy” },
{ $set : { “archived” : true } }
);
Friday, March 1, 13

32. Quiz: $set
Update owners array of the first cat with white color
If you want to update all objects, use multi
db.cats.update(
{ color: “white” },
{ “$set” : { “owners” : [“John”, “Jim”] } }
{ multi : true }
);
Friday, March 1, 13

33. Deleting Data
db.posts.remove(
{ “author” : “Father Angelo” })
db.music.remove({ “genres” : “pop” })
db.posts.remove({ “tags” : “funny” }, 1);
