In order to build multiple indexes at once, you need to use createIndexes() and pass multiple keys into an array. Following is the query for building multiple indexes at once.
>db.multipleIndexesDemo.createIndexes([{"First":1},{"Second":1},{"Third":1},{"Fourth":1},{"Fifth":1}]);This will produce the following output
{
"createdCollectionAutomatically" : true,
"numIndexesBefore" : 1,
"numIndexesAfter" : 6,
"ok" : 1
}Now get all the indexes
> db.multipleIndexesDemo.getIndexes();
This will produce the following output
[
{
"v" : 2,
"key" : {
"_id" : 1
},
"name" : "_id_",
"ns" : "test.multipleIndexesDemo"
},
{
"v" : 2,
"key" : {
"First" : 1
},
"name" : "First_1",
"ns" : "test.multipleIndexesDemo"
},
{
"v" : 2,
"key" : {
"Second" : 1
},
"name" : "Second_1",
"ns" : "test.multipleIndexesDemo"
},
{
"v" : 2,
"key" : {
"Third" : 1
},
"name" : "Third_1",
"ns" : "test.multipleIndexesDemo"
},
{
"v" : 2,
"key" : {
"Fourth" : 1
},
"name" : "Fourth_1",
"ns" : "test.multipleIndexesDemo"
},
{
"v" : 2,
"key" : {
"Fifth" : 1
},
"name" : "Fifth_1",
"ns" : "test.multipleIndexesDemo"
}
]
