What is MongoDB? (1)
• “...an open-source document database that
provides high performance, high availability, and
automatic scaling.”
MongoDB Web Site, http://www.mongodb.org/
• It’s name derived from “humongous”
• Written in C++
4

What is MongoDB? (2)
• “...an open-source database used by
companies of all sizes, across all industries and
for a wide variety of applications. It is an agile
database that allows schemas to change
quickly as applications evolve, while still
providing functionality developers expect from
traditional databases...”
MongoDB Products Web Site, http://www.mongodb.com/products/mongodb/
5

What is NoSQL?
• Developed to address shortcomings of a
traditional SQL relational database, namely:
• big data
• frequency of access to big data
• performance and scalability

How is MongoDB
Used?

Who is Using
MongoDB?
8

Features of MongoDB

Nomenclature (1)
10
RDBMS MongoDB
Database Database
Table Collection
Row Document
Index Index
Join Embedding & Linking
Foreign Key Reference

Nomenclature (2)
11

What is a Document?
• Basic unit of data
• analogous to a row in a RDBMS
• An ordered set of ﬁelds (keys) with
associated values stored in BSON format
• similar to JSON
12

What is BSON?
• “...a binary-encoded serialization of JSON-like
documents.”
BSON Web Site, http://www.bsonspec.org/
• Binary JSON
• Designed to be lightweight, traversable, and
efﬁcient
13

What is a Collection?
• A group of documents
• analogous to a table in a RDBMS
• Schema-less
14

Advantages of
Documents
• Documents correspond to native data
types in many programming languages
• Embedded documents and arrays reduce
the need for expensive joins
• Dynamic schema support ﬂuent
polymorphism
15

Document Structure
{
lastName : “Redlich”,
firstName : “Michael”,
email : “mike@redlich.net”
role : {
officer : “President”,
sig : “Java Users Group”
}
}
16
ﬁeld value
embedded document

Field Names
• Strings
• Cannot contain:
• null
• dots (.)
• dollar sign ($)
• No duplicate ﬁeld names
17

Conventions Used in
This Presentation
• Command Prompt ($)
• MySQL prompt (mysql>)
• MongoDB prompt (>)
• Keywords (db, find(), etc.)
• Variables (variable)
18

Example Database
• ACGNJ Board of Directors:
• lastName
• ﬁrstName
• roles (embedded documents)
• tenure
19

Getting Started
• Download MongoDB
• Create a default data directory
•/data/db
•C:datadb
• Create your ﬁrst MongoDB database
20

Starting MongoDB
• Start an instance of the MongoDB server:
$ mongod
• Start an instance of the MongoDB client (a
JavaScript-based shell):
$ mongo
21

Mongo Shell (1)
• Show the list of shell commands:
> help
• Show the list of databases:
> show dbs
• Show the current database:
> db
22

Mongo Shell (2)
• Specify the database to use or create:
> use database
• Show the collections within the current
database:
> show collections
• Show the users within the database:
> show users
23

Mongo Shell (3)
• Show the recent system.profile
entries:
> show profile
• Tab completion
• Command history
24

Primary Key
• Denoted by a special ﬁeld, _id
• It can be generated:
• Implicitly:
• {_id : ObjectID(value)}
• Explicitly:
• {_id : 2 }, { _id : “MPR”}
25

ObjectIDs
• Default type for _id
• A 12-byte hexadecimal BSON type:
26

Live Demo!
27

Create
28

Create a Database
• Create a database in MySQL:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE database;
• Create a database in MongoDB:
> use database
29

Create a Collection
• Create a new table in MySQL:
mysql> CREATE TABLE table(column
datatype,...);
• Create a new collection in MongoDB:
>
db.collection.insert({field:value,.
..})
30

Insert Data
• Insert a row in MySQL:
> INSERT INTO table(column,...)
VALUES(value,...);
• Insert a document in MongoDB:
>
db.collection.insert({field:value,.
..})
31

Insert Data with Loops
• Insert multiple documents with an array:
> for(int i = 0;i < j;++i)
db.collection.insert({field:array[i
]});
• Insert multiple documents with variable:
> for(int i = 0;i < j;++i)
db.collection.insert({field:i})
32

Live Demo!
33

Query (1)
• Retrieve all rows in MySQL:
mysql> SELECT * FROM table;
• Retrieve all documents in MongoDB:
> db.collection.find()
35

Query (2)
• Retrieve specified columns in MySQL:
mysql> SELECT column1,column2 FROM
table;
• Retrieve specified fields in MongoDB:
> db.collection.find({},
{field1:true,field2:true})
36

Query (3)
• Retrieve speciﬁc rows in MySQL:
mysql> SELECT * FROM table WHERE
column = value;
• Retrieve speciﬁc documents in MongoDB:
> db.collection.find({field:value})
37

Query (4)
column = value ORDER BY value ASC;
>
db.collection.find({field:value}).s
ort({field:1})
38

Query (5)
• Query for multiple documents (returns a
cursor):
> db.collection.find()
• Query for one document (returns a single
document):
> db.collection.findOne()
39

Query Selectors
• Scalar:
• $ne, $mod, $exists, $type, $lt, $lte,
$gt, $gte
• Vector:
• $in, $nin, $all, $size
40

Query (6)
column != value;
> db.collection.find({field:
{$ne:value}})
41

Query (7)
column1 = value OR column2 = value;
> db.collection.find({$or:
[{field:value},{field:value}])
42

Query (8)
> db.members.aggregate({$project:
{officer:"$roles.officer"}})
> db.members.find({tenure:
{$gt:ISODate("2014-12-31")}})
> db.members.find({"roles.officer":
{$exists:true}}).sort({"roles.offic
er":1})
43

Query (9)
>
db.members.find({"roles.director":
{$all:["Director"]}})
>
db.members.find({"roles.committee":
{$in:["Historian","Newsletter"]}})
> db.members.find({roles:{$size:
3}})
