To invert the result of a MongoDB query (opposite of $and operation), use $or combined with $ne operators. This applies De Morgan's Law: NOT (A AND B) = (NOT A) OR (NOT B). Syntax db.collection.find({ $or: [ { "field1": { $ne: "value1" } }, { "field2": { $ne: "value2" } } ] }); Sample Data db.demo4.insertMany([ { uid: 1, "Name": "Chris", "Age": 22 }, ... Read More

A capped collection has a fixed size and automatically removes old documents when the size limit is reached. Syntax db.runCommand({ convertToCapped: "collectionName", size: sizeInBytes }); Sample Data Let us create a regular collection with some documents ? db.demo260.insertMany([ {"Name": "Chris"}, {"Name": "Bob"}, {"Name": "David"} ]); { "acknowledged": true, ...

The $nor operator returns documents that do not match any of the specified conditions, making it perfect for inverse queries. Syntax db.collection.find({ $nor: [ { $and: [{ field1: value1 }, { field2: value2 }] } ] }); Sample Data Let us first create a collection with sample student documents — db.demo1.insertMany([ { "StudentName": "Chris", "StudentMarks": 38 }, ...

When you create a unique compound index, MongoDB treats missing fields as null values. Syntax db.collection.createIndex( { "field1": 1, "field2": 1 }, { unique: true } ); Create Sample Data First, let's create a unique compound index on StudentName and StudentAge ? db.compoundIndexDemo.createIndex( {"StudentName": 1, "StudentAge": 1}, {unique: true} ); ...
