| 15 | +Overview |
| 16 | +-------- |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +In this guide, you can learn how to specify a query to match a subset |
| 19 | +of documents. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +To match a subset of documents, specify a **query filter** containing |
| 22 | +your **match criteria**. Match criteria consist of the fields and |
| 23 | +values you want present in a document. A query filter contains at least |
| 24 | +one set of match criteria to determine which documents to include in the |
| 25 | +resulting set. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +In a query filter, you can match fields with :ref:`literal values |
| 28 | +<go-literal-values>` or with :ref:`query operators |
| 29 | +<query-operators-go>`. Query operators allow you to perform mathematical |
| 30 | +or logical operations to locate documents within a collection. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Match criteria with literal values use the following format: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +.. code-block:: go |
| 35 | + :copyable: false |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | + filter := bson.D{{"<field>", "<value>"}} |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Match criteria with a query operator use the following format: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +.. code-block:: go |
| 42 | + :copyable: false |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + filter := bson.D{{"<field>", bson.D{{"<operator>", "<value>"}}}} |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +The following sections use :ref:`literal values <go-literal-values>` |
| 47 | +and :ref:`query operators <query-operators-go>` with the ``Find()`` |
| 48 | +function to match a subset of documents. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +Sample Data |
| 51 | +~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +To run the examples in this guide, load the sample data into the |
| 54 | +``ratings`` collection of the ``tea`` database with the following |
| 55 | +snippet: |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +.. literalinclude:: /includes/fundamentals/code-snippets/CRUD/query.go |
| 58 | + :language: go |
| 59 | + :dedent: |
| 60 | + :start-after: begin insert docs |
| 61 | + :end-before: end insert docs |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +.. include:: /includes/fundamentals/automatic-db-coll-creation.rst |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Each document contains a rating for a type of tea and the vendors that |
| 66 | +carry them, which corresponds to the ``rating``, ``type``, and |
| 67 | +``vendor`` fields. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +.. include:: /includes/fundamentals/truncated-id.rst |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +.. _go-literal-values: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +Literal Values |
| 74 | +-------------- |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +Literal value query filters return documents with an exact match to your |
| 77 | +match criteria. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +.. tip:: |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + If you specify an empty query filter, CRUD operations match all the |
| 82 | + documents in a collection. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +Example |
| 85 | +~~~~~~~ |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +The following example matches documents where the ``type`` is "Oolong": |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +.. literalinclude:: /includes/fundamentals/code-snippets/CRUD/query.go |
| 90 | + :language: go |
| 91 | + :dedent: |
| 92 | + :start-after: begin literal |
| 93 | + :end-before: end literal |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +The expected output of this example is as follows: |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +.. code-block:: none |
| 98 | + :copyable: false |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type Oolong} {rating 7} {vendor [C]}] |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +.. tip:: |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | + Literal value queries return the same value as the ``$eq`` |
| 105 | + comparison operator. For example, the following query filters produce |
| 106 | + the same result: |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | + .. code-block:: go |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | + filter := bson.D{{"type", "Oolong"}} |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | + .. code-block:: go |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | + filter := bson.D{{"type", bson.D{{"$eq", "Oolong"}}}} |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +.. _query-operators-go: |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +Comparison |
| 119 | +---------- |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +Comparison operators analyze the value in a document against the specified |
| 122 | +value in your match criteria. Common comparison operators include |
| 123 | +``$gt`` for "greater than" comparisons, ``$lte`` for "less than or equal |
| 124 | +to" comparisons, and ``$ne`` for "not equal to" comparisons. |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +Example |
| 127 | +~~~~~~~ |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +The following example matches documents where the ``rating`` is less |
| 130 | +than ``7``: |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +.. literalinclude:: /includes/fundamentals/code-snippets/CRUD/query.go |
| 133 | + :language: go |
| 134 | + :dedent: |
| 135 | + :start-after: begin comparison |
| 136 | + :end-before: end comparison |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +The expected output of this example is as follows: |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +.. code-block:: none |
| 141 | + :copyable: false |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type English Breakfast} {rating 6}] |
| 144 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type Assam} {rating 5}] |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +For a full list of comparison operators, see the :manual:`Comparison |
| 147 | +Query Operators </reference/operator/query-comparison/>` page. |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +Logical |
| 150 | +------- |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +Logical operators require at least two match criteria. They check if |
| 153 | +documents meet all, at lease one, or none of the specified criteria. |
| 154 | +Common logical operators include ``$and`` where all match criteria must |
| 155 | +be true, and ``$or`` where at least one of the match criteria must be |
| 156 | +true. |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +Example |
| 159 | +~~~~~~~ |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +The following example matches documents where the ``rating`` is greater |
| 162 | +than ``7`` and less than or equal to ``10``: |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +.. literalinclude:: /includes/fundamentals/code-snippets/CRUD/query.go |
| 165 | + :language: go |
| 166 | + :dedent: |
| 167 | + :start-after: begin logical |
| 168 | + :end-before: end logical |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +The expected output of this example is as follows: |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +.. code-block:: none |
| 173 | + :copyable: false |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type Masala} {rating 10} {vendor [A C]}] |
| 176 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type Earl Grey} {rating 8} {vendor [A B]}] |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +For a full list of logical operators, see the :manual:`Logical |
| 179 | +Query Operators </reference/operator/query-logical/>` page. |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +.. tip:: |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | + Multiple match criteria resembling an ``$eq`` comparison operator in |
| 184 | + a literal query return the same value as the ``$and`` logical |
| 185 | + operator. For example, the following query filters produce the same result: |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | + .. code-block:: go |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | + filter := bson.D{{"type", "Oolong"}, {"rating", 7}} |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | + .. code-block:: go |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | + filter := bson.D{ |
| 194 | + {"$and", |
| 195 | + bson.A{ |
| 196 | + bson.D{{"type", "Oolong"}}, |
| 197 | + bson.D{{"rating", 7}}, |
| 198 | + }}, |
| 199 | + } |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +Element |
| 202 | +------- |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +Element operators check for the presence or type of the specified field. |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +Example |
| 207 | +~~~~~~~ |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +The following example matches documents where the ``vendor`` field does |
| 210 | +not exist: |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +.. literalinclude:: /includes/fundamentals/code-snippets/CRUD/query.go |
| 213 | + :language: go |
| 214 | + :dedent: |
| 215 | + :start-after: begin element |
| 216 | + :end-before: end element |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +The expected output of this example is as follows: |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | +.. code-block:: none |
| 221 | + :copyable: false |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type English Breakfast} {rating 6}] |
| 224 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type Assam} {rating 5}] |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +For a full list of element operators, see the :manual:`Element |
| 227 | +Query Operators </reference/operator/query-element/>` page. |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +Evaluation |
| 230 | +---------- |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +Evaluation operators analyze values in a document based on the |
| 233 | +specified value in your match criteria. Common evaluation operators |
| 234 | +include ``$regex`` where a field's value must match the specified |
| 235 | +regular expression and ``$text`` where the field's value must contain |
| 236 | +the specified string. |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +Example |
| 239 | +~~~~~~~ |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +The following example matches documents where the ``type`` begins with |
| 242 | +the letter "E": |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +.. literalinclude:: /includes/fundamentals/code-snippets/CRUD/query.go |
| 245 | + :language: go |
| 246 | + :dedent: |
| 247 | + :start-after: begin evaluation |
| 248 | + :end-before: end evaluation |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +The expected output of this example is as follows: |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +.. code-block:: none |
| 253 | + :copyable: false |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type English Breakfast} {rating 6}] |
| 256 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type Earl Grey} {rating 8} {vendor [A B]}] |
| 257 | + |
| 258 | +For a full list of evaluation operators, see the :manual:`Evaluation |
| 259 | +Query Operators </reference/operator/query-evaluation/>` page. |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | +Array |
| 262 | +----- |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +Array operators check the values or amount of elements in an array field. |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +Example |
| 267 | +~~~~~~~ |
| 268 | + |
| 269 | +The following example matches documents where the ``vendor`` contains "C": |
| 270 | + |
| 271 | +.. literalinclude:: /includes/fundamentals/code-snippets/CRUD/query.go |
| 272 | + :language: go |
| 273 | + :dedent: |
| 274 | + :start-after: begin array |
| 275 | + :end-before: end array |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | +The expected output of this example is as follows: |
| 278 | + |
| 279 | +.. code-block:: none |
| 280 | + :copyable: false |
| 281 | + |
| 282 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type Masala} {rating 10} {vendor [A C]}] |
| 283 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type Oolong} {rating 7} {vendor [C]}] |
| 284 | + |
| 285 | +For a full list of array operators, see the :manual:`Array |
| 286 | +Query Operators </reference/operator/query-array/>` page. |
| 287 | + |
| 288 | +Bitwise |
| 289 | +------- |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | +Bitwise operators convert a numeric field from a base-10 (decimal) |
| 292 | +number into the corresponding base-2 (binary) number. They check whether |
| 293 | +the value in a document has the same bits set as the value in your match |
| 294 | +criteria. |
| 295 | + |
| 296 | +Example |
| 297 | +~~~~~~~ |
| 298 | + |
| 299 | +The following example matches documents where the ``rating`` has the same |
| 300 | +bits set as ``6`` (which is "00000110"): |
| 301 | + |
| 302 | +.. literalinclude:: /includes/fundamentals/code-snippets/CRUD/query.go |
| 303 | + :language: go |
| 304 | + :dedent: |
| 305 | + :start-after: begin bitwise |
| 306 | + :end-before: end bitwise |
| 307 | + |
| 308 | +The expected output of this example is as follows: |
| 309 | + |
| 310 | +.. code-block:: none |
| 311 | + :copyable: false |
| 312 | + |
| 313 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type English Breakfast} {rating 6}] |
| 314 | + [{_id ObjectID("...")} {type Oolong} {rating 7} {vendor [C]}] |
| 315 | + |
| 316 | +For a full list of bitwise operators, see the :manual:`Bitwise |
| 317 | +Query Operators </reference/operator/query-bitwise/>` page. |
