mongodb query and return specific collections












1















I'm trying to return all collections where field grade: 'Grade Two', I've tried a number of queries but getting either error or nothing being returned. I want my query only return documents from the collection with 'Grade Two', that should return only two docs.



I've tried the below queries:



db.users.find({grade: "Grade Two"})
db.users.find({}, {grade: "Grade Two"})
db.users.find({}, {profile: {grade: "Grade Two"}})


I'm getting error with message: "errmsg" : "Unsupported projection option: profile: { grade: "Grade Two" }",



{
{
"_id": "4YH8hDjNhN39CTtZh",
"username": "philcee.philips",
"emails": [
{
"address": "ph@gmail.com",
"verified": false
}
],
"profile": {
"name": {
"firstname": "Philcee",
"lastname": "Philips"
},
"gender": "Female",
"nationality": "foo",
"grade": "Grade Two"
},
"roles": {
"__global_roles__": [
"student"
]
},
{
"_id": "8UH8hDjNhN39CTtm6",
"username": "gibson.wilson",
"emails": [
{
"address": "wil@gmail.com",
"verified": false
}
],
"profile": {
"name": {
"firstname": "Gibson",
"lastname": "Wilson"
},
"gender": "Male",
"nationality": "bar",
"grade": "Grade Two"
},
"roles": {
"__global_roles__": [
"student"
]
},


{
"_id": "i7G8hDjKhN39CTYt9",
"username": "daniel.jones",
"emails": [
{
"address": "jones@gmail.com",
"verified": false
}
],
"profile": {
"name": {
"firstname": "Daniel",
"lastname": "Jones"
},
"gender": "Male",
"nationality": "bar",
"grade": "Grade One"
},
"roles": {
"__global_roles__": [
"student"
]
}
}


Is there another way to query for specific docs from the collection mentioned?

  • Use .dot notation db.users.find({ "profile.grade": "Grade Two" }) and for projection db.users.find({ "profile.grade": "Grade Two" }, { "profile.grade": 1 })

You can use .dot notation to find inside an object



db.users.find({ "profile.grade": "Grade Two" }) 


And to return specific field you can use projection in the second argument of the find query



db.users.find({ "profile.grade": "Grade Two" }, { "profile.grade": 1 })
