You can use $unset. Let us first create a collection with documents −
> db.demo20.insertOne( ... { ... ... "ListOfEmployee" : [ ... { ... "EmployeeName1" : "John" ... }, ... { ... "EmployeeName2" : "Carol" ... } ... ], ... "EmployeeName2" : [] ... } ... ); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e138c3555d0fc6657d21f12") }
Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo20.find();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e138c3555d0fc6657d21f12"), "ListOfEmployee" : [ { "EmployeeName1" : "John" }, { "EmployeeName2" : "Carol" } ], "EmployeeName2" : [ ] }
Following is the query to delete particular data in a document −
> db.demo20.update({ "EmployeeName2": { "$exists": 1 }},{ "$unset": { "EmployeeName2": "" } }); WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 1 })
Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo20.find();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e138c3555d0fc6657d21f12"), "ListOfEmployee" : [ { "EmployeeName1" : "John" }, { "EmployeeName2" : "Carol" } ] }
