Execute CRUD Operations in MongoDB

CRUD operations create, read, update, and delete document data. With MongoDB, you can use several methods to perform these operations in real time. You will explore how to insert a document into a group of documents, which is called a collection. You will then retrieve documents from a collection, modify documents in a collection, and remove documents from a collection.

MongoDB is a popular non-relational database that supports various data types, including dates and numbers. Explore the range of CRUD capabilities by applying filters, running queries, creating lists, and finding counts.

In this guided project, you will start and connect to the MongoDB server. Once in the database, you will create a collection and add several documents to it. You will practice finding document counts and discover several ways to read and query documents including creating lists, filtering lists, and using a projection document. You will explore ways to limit, name, and update fields. After trying out these useful operations, you will remove documents in your collection by defining deletion criteria. Then you will delete all the documents at one time by executing a single remove operation.

Executing the operations in this guided project will set you up to manage MongoDB databases successfully as you proceed to perform more complex database operations.
