MongoDB
1. Document Database Overview
Document-oriented storage
Flexible schema
JSON-like format (BSON)
High scalability
2. Understanding JSON
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)
Lightweight data interchange format
Human-readable
Used for data storage and communication
MongoDB uses BSON (Binary JSON) for more efficient storage
3. MongoDB Structure and Architecture
Databases: Container for collections
Collections: Container for documents
Documents: Individual records (JSON/BSON format)
Indexes: Improve query performance
Replica Sets: Data redundancy and high availability
Sharding: Horizontal scaling for large datasets
4. MongoDB Remote Management
Use MongoDB Atlas or third-party tools to manage remotely
Supports cloud-based management
Provides a web-based interface
Allows scaling and backups
5. Installing MongoDB on Local Computer (Mac or Windows)
Steps for Windows:
1. Download MongoDB installer from [MongoDB website]
(https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community)
2. Run the installer and follow the setup instructions
3. Add MongoDB to PATH for easy command-line access
4. Verify installation by running `mongod` in the terminal
Steps for Mac:

3. Choose a cloud provider, region, and cluster tier
4. Configure cluster settings (e.g., authentication, network access)
5. Wait for the cluster to be provisioned (takes a few minutes)
6. Connect to your cluster by clicking "Connect" and follow the instructions
8. GUI Tools Overview
MongoDB Compass: Official GUI for MongoDB
Provides a graphical interface to interact with MongoDB data
Supports schema visualization, document querying, and performance analysis
Offers built-in features for data aggregation and CRUD operations
9. Install and Configure MongoDB Compass
Steps to install Compass:
1. Download MongoDB Compass from [MongoDB website]
(https://www.mongodb.com/products/compass)
2. Run the installer and follow the setup instructions
3. Launch Compass after installation
4. To connect, use your MongoDB Atlas connection string or local instance URI
5. Enter the credentials (username, password) for Atlas or your local MongoDB
instance
10. Introduction to the MongoDB Shell
2/4
MongoDB.md 2025-05-13
MongoDB Shell: Command-line interface for MongoDB
Allows direct interaction with MongoDB instance
Provides a JavaScript engine for writing scripts
Can perform CRUD operations, manage databases and collections
11. MongoDB Shell JavaScript Engine
The MongoDB Shell uses JavaScript to interact with the database
Supports JavaScript functions for querying, aggregating, and modifying data
Allows scripting and automation
12. MongoDB Shell JavaScript Syntax
JavaScript syntax for interacting with MongoDB
Basic operations like find(), insert(), update(), delete()
Use $ operators for advanced querying
Examples: db.users.find(), db.users.insertOne({name: "Alice"})
13. Introduction to MongoDB Data Types
MongoDB supports various data types, including:
String: Represents textual data
Integer: 32-bit or 64-bit integer
Double: 64-bit floating-point number
Boolean: True or false values
Date: Date and time
Array: Ordered list of values
Object: Embedded document
Null: Represents an empty or undefined value
ObjectId: Unique identifier for documents
14. Introduction to CRUD Operations on Documents
Create: Insert documents into a collection (insertOne(), insertMany())
Read: Retrieve documents using queries (find())
Update: Modify existing documents (updateOne(), updateMany())
Delete: Remove documents (deleteOne(), deleteMany())
15. Create and Delete Databases and Collections
Create Database: MongoDB creates databases when documents are inserted into collections
Create Collection: Explicitly create a collection using createCollection()
Drop Collection: Remove a collection using drop()
Drop Database: Delete an entire database using dropDatabase()
16. Introduction to MongoDB Queries
MongoDB queries allow retrieving and manipulating data
Use comparison operators, logical operators, and projections for complex queries
3/4
MongoDB.md 2025-05-13
Queries can include filters, sorting, and limiting results
Advanced querying with aggregation framework
