MongoDB Queries and Concepts

a. Purpose of the find() Method


The find() method retrieves documents from a MongoDB collection. If no query is given, it returns all
documents.
Example:
db.users.find({})

b. Query to Find Documents Where 'age' > 25


The $gt operator retrieves documents where age is greater than 25.
Example:
db.users.find({ age: { $gt: 25 } })

c. Using the limit() Method


The limit() method restricts the number of documents returned.
Example:
db.users.find({}).limit(5)

d. Purpose of the skip() Method


The skip() method skips a specified number of documents.
Example:
db.users.find({}).skip(10)

e. Using count() to Count Documents


The count() method returns the number of documents that match a query.
Example:
db.users.count({})

f. Difference Between findOne() and find()


findOne() returns the first matching document, whereas find() returns all matching documents.
Example:
findOne(): db.users.findOne({ age: { $gt: 25 } })
find(): db.users.find({ age: { $gt: 25 } })
