MongoDB checking for not null?


Use $ne to check for not null. Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo764.insertOne({"LoginUserName":"Chris","LoginPassword":"Chris_12"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5eb04ee55637cd592b2a4afc")
}
> db.demo764.insertOne({"LoginUserName":"Chris","LoginPassword":null});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5eb04eee5637cd592b2a4afd")
}
> db.demo764.insertOne({"LoginUserName":"Chris","LoginPassword":""});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5eb04ef35637cd592b2a4afe")
}

Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo764.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5eb04ee55637cd592b2a4afc"), "LoginUserName" : "Chris", "LoginPassword" : "Chris_12" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5eb04eee5637cd592b2a4afd"), "LoginUserName" : "Chris", "LoginPassword" : null }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5eb04ef35637cd592b2a4afe"), "LoginUserName" : "Chris", "LoginPassword" : "" }

Following is the query to check for not null −

> db.demo764.find({"LoginUserName":"Chris","LoginPassword" : { '$ne': null } });

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5eb04ee55637cd592b2a4afc"), "LoginUserName" : "Chris", "LoginPassword" : "Chris_12" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5eb04ef35637cd592b2a4afe"), "LoginUserName" : "Chris", "LoginPassword" : "" }
