*** Basic Provisioning of a MongoDB Database ***

1. Install [Mongo Shell] and [MongoDB Database Tools] for your operating system
https://docs.mongodb.com/database-tools/installation/installation/
- Make sure that you add the folder to the PATH environment variable!!

2. Create a MongoDB Atlas account on the free tier


https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas
- Click "Connect" and choose to connect with the mongo shell

3. Open Windows Terminal and type


> mongosh "mongodb+srv://cluster0.dusbo.mongodb.net/abdtest" --username abdroot
User is: abdroot | Password is: Test123 | DB name: abdtest
- Feel free to use this particular database instance or replace credentials with
your own

3. Try a few commands to familiarize yourself with the MongoDB system

Show the current database


> db

Use a specific database


> use abdtest

Get a list of all collections


> show collections

Insert a document into collection


> db.products.insertOne(
{ item: "canvas", qty: 100, tags: ["cotton"], size: { h: 28, w: 35.5, uom: "cm" }
}
)

Find all documents


> db.products.find();
> db.products.find({});
> db.products.find().pretty();

Insert multiple documents


> db.products.insertMany([
{ item: "journal", qty: 25, tags: ["blank", "red"], size: { h: 14, w: 21, uom:
"cm" } },
{ item: "mat", qty: 85, tags: ["gray"], size: { h: 27.9, w: 35.5, uom: "cm" } },
{ item: "mousepad", qty: 55, tags: ["gel", "blue"], size: { h: 19, w: 22.85,
uom: "cm" } }
])

Find a specific document


> db.products.find( { item: "mousepad" } )
> db.products.find( { qty: { $lt: 30 } } )

Count the number of documents


> db.products.countDocuments()

Update a specific document


> db.products.updateOne(
{ item: "mousepad" },
{
$set: { qty: 5 },
$currentDate: { lastModified: true }
}
)

Delete a document
> db.products.deleteOne( { item: "mousepad" } )

Drop collection
> db.products.drop()

NEXT:
We will run an instance of the MongoDB on our local machine. Familiarize yourself
with Docker (what it is, how you can run it, etc.)
