1.

Instillations
o https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community
2. Download and Install MongoDB community server
o Create a separate installation location/directory “mongodb” (for windows, c:\mongodb) and install
your MongoDB in that location instead of default location. (this will be helpful later when you are
starting the service)
o Start custom installation option
o Uncheck “Install MongoD as a Service” option and hit next.
3. Create 3 folders inside mongodb after installations
o Create a folder “data” c:\mongodb\data
 Create a folder “db” inside data folder created above. c:\mongodb\data\db
o Create a folder “log” c:\mongodb\log
4. Use Command Interpreter (cmd for windows, open with admin privilege)
o Change the path from command line to where you have your mongoDB\bin folder
o Now type
 mongod –directoryperdb –dbpath c:\mongodb\data\db –logpath c:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
–logappend –install
5. Start the MongoDB service.
o Type of the followings
 net start MongoDB
______________________________________________________________
1. Start MongoDB
o type mongo to start mongo shell
o Cls to clear the screen

2. To show the databases


o show dbs
o use <database name> will use and switch to that database. If there’s no database, this command
will create one.
o db will tell you current db
o [Exercise] Create a database “Company”
o [Exercise] Create a database “University”

3. [Exercise] To drop a database,


o Use db to find the current database
o db.dropDatabase();
o [Exercise] Drop "University"

4. [Exercise] Create user for the database “Company”


db.createUser(
{
user: "John",
pwd: "1234",
roles: [ "readWrite", "dbAdmin" ]
}
)

 MongoDB stores BSON documents, i.e. data records, in collections; the collections in databases.
BSON is a binary representation of JSON documents
 Database is a physical container for collections.
 Collection is a group of MongoDB documents. It is the equivalent of an RDBMS table. A
collection exists within a single database. Collections do not enforce a schema. Documents within
a collection can have different fields. Typically, all documents in a collection are of similar or
related purpose.

5. [Exercise] Create a collection “customers” for Company database


o db.createCollection(‘customers’);
o show collections

6. Insert documents to collection


o db.customers.insert({first_name:"Jon", last_name:"Doe"});
o [Exercise] Create 5 customers and the fields for their first_name and last_name:
o John Smith, Alicia Zelaya, Jennifer Wallace, Ahmad Jabbar, James Borg

7. find data in the customers collection


o db.customers.find();
o db.customers.find().pretty();
o [Exercise] Find the data for document where the first_name is Jennifer
 https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/query-comparison/
 db.customers.find({first_name:{$eq:"Ahmad"}})
 Use regex to find partial match db.customers.find({first_name: /Ah/})
o Projection to whitelist fields to pass into output
 db.customers.find({}, {first_name: true})

8. Multiple documents at once using array format


o db.customers.insert( [ {first_name:"Sam", last_name:"Smith"} , {first_name:"Jade",
last_name:"Smith", gender:"female"}]);

9. [Exercise] use an array to insert following to a database "petshop" and collection "pets"
o Add another piranha called Pete, and a naked mole rat called Henry.
o Use find to list all the pets. Find the ID of Mikey the Gerbil.
o Use find to find all the gerbils.
o Find all the creatures named Mikey.
o Find all the creatures named Mikey who are gerbils.
o Find all the creatures with the string "dog" in their species

10. Update
o db.customers.update({first_name:"Sam"}, {first_name:"Sam", last_name:"Smith",
gender:"male"})
o You need to repeat all the fields with their data. Otherwise document will replace by just the fields
available in the update statement. Use the $set operator instead.

o Use the set operator for that


 db.customers.update( {first_name:"Sam"}, {$set:{gender:"male"}} );
 [Exercise] Update all the customers to include gender and age fields.

o Use inc operator to increment numerical values


 db.customers.update( {first_name:"Sam"}, {$set:{age:40}} );
 db.customers.update( {first_name:"Sam"}, {$inc:{age:5}} );

o Use unset to remove a field


 {$unset: {field1:"", …}}
 db.customers.update( {first_name:"Sam"}, {$unset:{age:""}} );
o Use the upsert to insert if the update fails because document is not there
 db.customers.update( {first_name:"May"}, {first_name:"May", last_name:"June"},
{upsert: true});

11. Remove
o db.customers.remove( {}) // remove all the documents
o db.customers.remove( {first_name:"Sam"}, {justone: true})
o justone will delete only first document it finds, otherwise it will delete all

12. Import
o Import json files to the database
o Exit from the mongo: type "exit" and then type the following in the command line. Your
path should still be mongodb\bin
 [Exercise] First download the file from and save it somewhere
https://www.cs.odu.edu/~sampath/courses/f19/cs620/files/data/stocks.json
 mongoimport --db stocks --collection stocks --file stocks.json
