How to check empty field in a MongoDB collection?
To check empty field in a MongoDB collection, use $exists along with $eq operator. Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.demo485.insertOne({"FirstName":"Chris","LastName":""});{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5e82e9f6b0f3fa88e22790a8")
}
> db.demo485.insertOne({"FirstName":"David","LastName":"Miller"});{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5e82e9fdb0f3fa88e22790a9")
}
> db.demo485.insertOne({"FirstName":"Chris","LastName":"Brown"});{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5e82ea03b0f3fa88e22790aa")
}
> db.demo485.insertOne({"FirstName":"Robert","LastName":""});{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5e82ea0fb0f3fa88e22790ab")
}Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo485.find();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e82e9f6b0f3fa88e22790a8"), "FirstName" : "Chris", "LastName" : "" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e82e9fdb0f3fa88e22790a9"), "FirstName" : "David", "LastName" : "Miller" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e82ea03b0f3fa88e22790aa"), "FirstName" : "Chris", "LastName" : "Brown"
}
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e82ea0fb0f3fa88e22790ab"), "FirstName" : "Robert", "LastName" : "" }Following is the query to check empty field −
> db.demo485.find({"LastName" : {"$exists" : true, "$eq" : ""}})This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e82e9f6b0f3fa88e22790a8"), "FirstName" : "Chris", "LastName" : "" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e82ea0fb0f3fa88e22790ab"), "FirstName" : "Robert", "LastName" : "" }
