Ignore NULL and UNDEFINED values while running a MongoDB query
To ignore NULL and UNDEFINED values, use $ne in MongoDB. Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.demo35.insertOne({"Name":"Chris"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e175e42cfb11e5c34d898d0") } > db.demo35.insertOne({"Name":null}); { "acknowledged" : true,9 "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e175e46cfb11e5c34d898d1") } > db.demo35.insertOne({"Name":"Bob"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e175e4bcfb11e5c34d898d2") } > db.demo35.insertOne({"Name":undefined}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e175e54cfb11e5c34d898d3") }
Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo35.find();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e175e42cfb11e5c34d898d0"), "Name" : "Chris" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e175e46cfb11e5c34d898d1"), "Name" : null } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e175e4bcfb11e5c34d898d2"), "Name" : "Bob" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e175e54cfb11e5c34d898d3"), "Name" : undefined }
Following is the query to use $new to ignore NULL values −
> db.demo35.find({"Name": {$ne: null}});
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e175e42cfb11e5c34d898d0"), "Name" : "Chris" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e175e4bcfb11e5c34d898d2"), "Name" : "Bob" }
