How to remove primary key from MongoDB?
To remove primary key in MongoDB, set _id value to 0 i.e. set the field you want to exclude as 0 in find(). Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.demo471.insertOne({"ClientId":101,"ClientName":"Chris"});{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e805711b0f3fa88e2279077") } > db.demo471.insertOne({"ClientId":102,"ClientName":"Bob"});{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e80571db0f3fa88e2279078") } > db.demo471.insertOne({"ClientId":103,"ClientName":"David"});{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e805724b0f3fa88e2279079") }
Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo471.find();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e805711b0f3fa88e2279077"), "ClientId" : 101, "ClientName" : "Chris" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e80571db0f3fa88e2279078"), "ClientId" : 102, "ClientName" : "Bob" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e805724b0f3fa88e2279079"), "ClientId" : 103, "ClientName" : "David" }
Following is the query to remove primary key in MongoDB −
> db.demo471.find({},{_id:0,ClientId:0});;
This will produce the following output −
{ "ClientName" : "Chris" } { "ClientName" : "Bob" } { "ClientName" : "David" }
