Can we use NOT and AND together in MongoDB?


Yes, we can use the NOT and AND together in MongoDB. The syntax is as follows

NOT X AND NOT Y = NOT (X AND Y)
Let us see the working of above syntax.
If both X and Y will be true then last result will be false.
If one of the operands gives result false then last result will be true.

Following is the query to create a collection with documents

> db.NotAndDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"John","StudentCountryName":"US"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c98746a330fd0aa0d2fe4a8")
}
> db.NotAndDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"John","StudentCountryName":"UK"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c987478330fd0aa0d2fe4a9")
}
> db.NotAndDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"David","StudentCountryName":"AUS"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c987487330fd0aa0d2fe4aa")
}
> db.NotAndDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Chris","StudentCountryName":"UK"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9874ac330fd0aa0d2fe4ab")
}
> db.NotAndDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Chris","StudentCountryName":"US"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9874b7330fd0aa0d2fe4ac")
}

Following is the query to display all the documents from a collection with the help of find() method

> db.NotAndDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output:
{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5c98746a330fd0aa0d2fe4a8"),
   "StudentName" : "John",
   "StudentCountryName" : "US"
}
{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5c987478330fd0aa0d2fe4a9"),
   "StudentName" : "John",
   "StudentCountryName" : "UK"
}
{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5c987487330fd0aa0d2fe4aa"),
   "StudentName" : "David",
   "StudentCountryName" : "AUS"
}
{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5c9874ac330fd0aa0d2fe4ab"),
   "StudentName" : "Chris",
   "StudentCountryName" : "UK"
}
{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5c9874b7330fd0aa0d2fe4ac"),
   "StudentName" : "Chris",
   "StudentCountryName" : "US"
}

Following is the query to use NOT and AND together, which is the same as NOT X OR NOT Y for NOT (X AND Y)

> db.NotAndDemo.find({
...    "$or": [
...       {"StudentName": {"$ne": "Chris"}},
...       {"StudentCountryName": {"$ne": "US"}}
...    ]
... }).pretty();

This will produce the following output

{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5c98746a330fd0aa0d2fe4a8"),
   "StudentName" : "John",
   "StudentCountryName" : "US"
}
{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5c987478330fd0aa0d2fe4a9"),
   "StudentName" : "John",
   "StudentCountryName" : "UK"
}
{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5c987487330fd0aa0d2fe4aa"),
   "StudentName" : "David",
   "StudentCountryName" : "AUS"
}
{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5c9874ac330fd0aa0d2fe4ab"),
   "StudentName" : "Chris",
   "StudentCountryName" : "UK"
}
