MongoDB 4 Quick Start Guide

By: Doug Bierer

Overview of this book

MongoDB has grown to become the de facto NoSQL database with millions of users, from small start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. It can solve problems that are considered difficult, if not impossible, for aging RDBMS technologies. Written for version 4 of MongoDB, this book is the easiest way to get started with MongoDB. You will start by getting a MongoDB installation up and running in a safe and secure manner. You will learn how to perform mission-critical create, read, update, and delete operations, and set up database security. You will also learn about advanced features of MongoDB such as the aggregation pipeline, replication, and sharding. You will learn how to build a simple web application that uses MongoDB to respond to AJAX queries, and see how to make use of the MongoDB programming language driver for PHP. The examples incorporate new features available in MongoDB version 4 where appropriate.

Creating and running shell scripts

Command summary (discussed as follows):

mongo [<database>] --eval "command": Direct command execution
mongo <JavaScript>: Runs the shell script specified

There are two ways in which you can run a shell script using mongo; issuing a direct (single) command using the --eval flag, or by creating and running a shell script.

Running a direct command

Often, you simply want to get status information on MongoDB, in which case the database is irrelevant. In this example, we use the --eval flag to run the command db.serverStatus():

In other cases, you might want to run periodic database queries from a cron job. Here is an example where we check for customers in the sweetscomplete...
