Count distinct value in MongoDB?
Use the concept of length to count distinct value. Following is the syntax −
db.yourCollectionName.distinct("yourFieldName").length;Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.countDistinctDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"John"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5cbd6166de8cc557214c0dfa")
}
> db.countDistinctDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Chris"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5cbd616ade8cc557214c0dfb")
}
> db.countDistinctDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Chris"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5cbd616cde8cc557214c0dfc")
}
> db.countDistinctDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Carol"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5cbd6170de8cc557214c0dfd")
}
> db.countDistinctDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"David"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5cbd6175de8cc557214c0dfe")
}
> db.countDistinctDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Carol"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5cbd6181de8cc557214c0dff")
}Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.countDistinctDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cbd6166de8cc557214c0dfa"), "StudentName" : "John" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cbd616ade8cc557214c0dfb"), "StudentName" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cbd616cde8cc557214c0dfc"), "StudentName" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cbd6170de8cc557214c0dfd"), "StudentName" : "Carol" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cbd6175de8cc557214c0dfe"), "StudentName" : "David" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cbd6181de8cc557214c0dff"), "StudentName" : "Carol" }Following is the query to count distinct value −
> db.countDistinctDemo.distinct("StudentName").length;This will produce the following output −
