MongoDB conditional operator

description

Conditional operator used to compare two expressions and obtain data from mongoDB collection.

In this section, we will discuss how to use the conditions in MongoDB operator.

MongoDB conditional operator are:

  • (>) Greater than - $ gt
  • (<) Less than - $ lt
  • (> =) Or greater - $ gte
  • (<=) Or less - $ lte

We use the database name is "w3big" Our collection name is "col", insert the following for our data.

To facilitate testing, we can first use the following command to clear the set of "col" of data:

db.col.remove({})

Insert the following data

>db.col.insert({
    title: 'PHP 教程', 
    description: 'PHP 是一种创建动态交互性站点的强有力的服务器端脚本语言。',
    by: '本教程',
    url: 'http://www.w3big.com',
    tags: ['php'],
    likes: 200
})

>db.col.insert({title: 'Java 教程', 
    description: 'Java 是由Sun Microsystems公司于1995年5月推出的高级程序设计语言。',
    by: '本教程',
    url: 'http://www.w3big.com',
    tags: ['java'],
    likes: 150
})

>db.col.insert({title: 'MongoDB 教程', 
    description: 'MongoDB 是一个 Nosql 数据库',
    by: '本教程',
    url: 'http://www.w3big.com',
    tags: ['mongodb'],
    likes: 100
})

Use find () command to view the data:

> db.col.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("56066542ade2f21f36b0313a"), "title" : "PHP 教程", "description" : "PHP 是一种创建动态交互性站点的强有力的服务器端脚本语言。", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "php" ], "likes" : 200 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("56066549ade2f21f36b0313b"), "title" : "Java 教程", "description" : "Java 是由Sun Microsystems公司于1995年5月推出的高级程序设计语言。", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "java" ], "likes" : 150 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5606654fade2f21f36b0313c"), "title" : "MongoDB 教程", "description" : "MongoDB 是一个 Nosql 数据库", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "mongodb" ], "likes" : 100 }

MongoDB (>) is greater than the operator - $ gt

If you want to get "col" collection "likes" more than 100 data, you can use the following command:

db.col.find({"likes" : {$gt : 100}})

Similar to the SQL statement:

Select * from col where likes > 100;

Output:

> db.col.find({"likes" : {$gt : 100}})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("56066542ade2f21f36b0313a"), "title" : "PHP 教程", "description" : "PHP 是一种创建动态交互性站点的强有力的服务器端脚本语言。", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "php" ], "likes" : 200 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("56066549ade2f21f36b0313b"), "title" : "Java 教程", "description" : "Java 是由Sun Microsystems公司于1995年5月推出的高级程序设计语言。", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "java" ], "likes" : 150 }

MongoDB (> =) greater than or equal operator - $ gte

If you want to get "col" collection "likes" not less than 100 data, you can use the following command:

db.col.find({likes : {$gte : 100}})

Similar to the SQL statement:

Select * from col where likes >=100;

Output:

> db.col.find({likes : {$gte : 100}})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("56066542ade2f21f36b0313a"), "title" : "PHP 教程", "description" : "PHP 是一种创建动态交互性站点的强有力的服务器端脚本语言。", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "php" ], "likes" : 200 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("56066549ade2f21f36b0313b"), "title" : "Java 教程", "description" : "Java 是由Sun Microsystems公司于1995年5月推出的高级程序设计语言。", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "java" ], "likes" : 150 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5606654fade2f21f36b0313c"), "title" : "MongoDB 教程", "description" : "MongoDB 是一个 Nosql 数据库", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "mongodb" ], "likes" : 100 }

MongoDB (<) less than the operator - $ lt

If you want to get "col" collection "likes" less than 150 data, you can use the following command:

db.col.find({likes : {$lt : 150}})

Similar to the SQL statement:

Select * from col where likes < 150;

Output:

> db.col.find({likes : {$lt : 150}})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5606654fade2f21f36b0313c"), "title" : "MongoDB 教程", "description" : "MongoDB 是一个 Nosql 数据库", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "mongodb" ], "likes" : 100 }

MongoDB (<=) less than the operator - $ lte

If you want to get "col" collection "likes" less than equal to 150 data, you can use the following command:

db.col.find({likes : {$lte : 150}})

Similar to the SQL statement:

Select * from col where likes <= 150;

Output:

> db.col.find({likes : {$lte : 150}})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("56066549ade2f21f36b0313b"), "title" : "Java 教程", "description" : "Java 是由Sun Microsystems公司于1995年5月推出的高级程序设计语言。", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "java" ], "likes" : 150 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5606654fade2f21f36b0313c"), "title" : "MongoDB 教程", "description" : "MongoDB 是一个 Nosql 数据库", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "mongodb" ], "likes" : 100 }

MongoDB use (<) and (>) Discover - $ lt and $ gt

If you want to get "col" collection "likes" more than 100, 200 less than the data, you can use the following command:

db.col.find({likes : {$lt :200, $gt : 100}})

Similar to the SQL statement:

Select * from col where likes>100 AND  likes<200;

Output:

> db.col.find({likes : {$lt :200, $gt : 100}})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("56066549ade2f21f36b0313b"), "title" : "Java 教程", "description" : "Java 是由Sun Microsystems公司于1995年5月推出的高级程序设计语言。", "by" : "本教程", "url" : "http://www.w3big.com", "tags" : [ "java" ], "likes" : 150 }
