How to keep two “columns” in MongoDB unique?
Use unique and set it to TRUE. Let us implement the same by creating index and setting two columns to unique −
>db.keepTwoColumnsUniqueDemo.createIndex({"StudentFirstName":1,"StudentLastName":1},{unique:true});
{
"createdCollectionAutomatically" : true,
"numIndexesBefore" : 1,
"numIndexesAfter" : 2,
"ok" : 1
}Now you can insert documents in the above collection −
>db.keepTwoColumnsUniqueDemo.insertOne({"StudentFirstName":"John","StudentLastName":"Smith","StudentAge":21});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5cd30fd7b64f4b851c3a13e5")
}
>db.keepTwoColumnsUniqueDemo.insertOne({"StudentFirstName":"John","StudentLastName":"Doe","StudentAge":23});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5cd30fe5b64f4b851c3a13e6")
}
>db.keepTwoColumnsUniqueDemo.insertOne({"StudentFirstName":"John","StudentLastName":"Smith","StudentAge":24});

@(shell):1:1Above, since we set the two columns unique and now we are trying to include duplicate values, the following error is visible −
duplicate key error collection
Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.keepTwoColumnsUniqueDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output −
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5cd30fd7b64f4b851c3a13e5"),
"StudentFirstName" : "John",
"StudentLastName" : "Smith",
"StudentAge" : 21
}
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5cd30fe5b64f4b851c3a13e6"),
"StudentFirstName" : "John",
"StudentLastName" : "Doe",
"StudentAge" : 23
}
