MongoDB is an open-source document-oriented database. It is categorized under the
Experiment NoSQL(Not only SQL) database because the storage and retrieval of data in MongoDB
Description are not in the form of tables. This is the general introduction to MongoDB now we will
learn how to install MongoDB in Windows.
Steps to Install MongoDB on Windows using MSI
To install MongoDB on Windows, first, download the MongoDB server and then install
the MongoDB shell. The Steps below explain the installation process in detail and provide
the required resources for the smooth download and install MongoDB.
Step 1: Go to the MongoDB Download Center to download the MongoDB Community
Server.
Experiment
Code/Procedure
Here, You can select any version, Windows, and package according to your requirement.
For Windows, we need to choose:
Version: 7.0.4
OS: Windows x64
Package: msi
Step 2: When the download is complete open the msi file and click the next button in the
startup screen:
Step 3: Now accept the End-User License Agreement and click the next button:
Step 4: Now select the complete option to install all the program features. Here, if you
can want to install only selected program features and want to select the location of the
installation, then use the Custom option:
Step 5: Select “Run service as Network Service user” and copy the path of the data
directory. Click Next:
Step 6: Click the Install button to start the MongoDB installation process:
Step 7: After clicking on the install button installation of MongoDB begins:
Step 8: Now click the Finish button to complete the MongoDB installation process:
Step 9: Now we go to the location where MongoDB installed in step 5 in your system and
copy the bin path:
Step 10: Now, to create an environment variable open system properties >> Environment
Variable >> System variable >> path >> Edit Environment variable and paste the copied
link to your environment system and click Ok:
Step 11: After setting the environment variable, we will run the MongoDB server, i.e.
mongod. So, open the command prompt and run the following command:
mongod
Step 12: Now, Open C drive and create a folder named “data” inside this folder create
another folder named “db”. After creating these folders. Again open the command prompt
and run the following command:
mongod
Now, this time the MongoDB server(i.e., mongod) will run successfully.
Run mongo Shell
Step 13: Now we are going to connect our server (mongod) with the mongo shell. So,
keep that mongod window and open a new command prompt window and write mongo.
Now, our mongo shell will successfully connect to the mongod.
Important Point: Please do not close the mongod window if you close this window your
server will stop working and it will not able to connect with the mongo shell.
Now, you are ready to write queries in the mongo Shell.

AWS or Amazon web services is a cloud service platform that provides on-demand
computational services, databases, storage space, and many more services. EC2 or Elastic
Experiment Compute Cloud is a scalable computing service launched on the AWS cloud platform. In
Description simpler words, EC2 is nothing but a virtual computer on which we can perform all our
tasks and we have the authority to configure, launch or even dissipate this virtual
computer
Implementation:
Follow the steps below to install MongoDB on AWS EC2 :
Step 1: Create an AWS Elastic Cloud Compute Instance.
Step 2: Start the EC2 instance that you have created in Step 1.

Experiment In this experiment, we‟ll explore how to create a database, create collections, and insert
Description documents into collections in MongoDB.
Creating a Database and Collection in MongoDB
Step 1: Create a Database In MongoDB
To create a database in MongoDB use the “use” command.
Syntax
use database_name
Example
We have created a MongoDB database named gfgDB, as shown in the image below:
Here, we have created a database named as “gfgDB”. If the database doesn‟t exist,
MongoDB will create the database when you store any data to it.
Note: The "use" command is also used to switch to
another database.
View all the Existing Databases
To view all existing databases in MongoDB use the “show dbs” command.
Experiment
Syntax
Code/Procedure
show dbs
This command returns a list of all the existing MongoDB databases.
To check your current database use the “db” command
Step 2: Create a Collection in MongoDB
To create a collection in MongoDB use the createCollection() method. Collection name is
passed as argument to the method.
Syntax
db.createCollection(„ collection_name‟ );
Example
Creating collection named “Student” in MongoDB
db.createCollection('Student');
Output:
Explanation: In the above example, Student Collection is created using
createCollection() method.
Note: In MongoDB, a collection is also created
directly when we add one or more documents to it.
Step 3: Insert Documents in Collection in MongoDB
We can insert documents in the collection using the two methods:
insertOne()
insertMany()
Let’s understand each of these methods with examples.
1. insertOne() Method
insertOne() method is used to insert only one document in the collection.
Example:
db.myNewCollection1.insertOne( { name:"geeksforgeeks" } )
Here, we create a collection named as “myNewCollection1” by inserting a document that
contains a “name” field with its value in it using insertOne() method.
2. insertMany() method
insertMany() method is used to insert many documents in the collection
Example:
we have created a collection named as myNewCollection2 by inserting two documents
using insertMany() method.
db.myNewCollection2.insertMany([{name:"gfg", country:"India"},
{name:"rahul", age:20}])
Output:
Step 4: View Existing Collections
To view all existing collections in a MongoDB database use the “show collection
command“:
Syntax
show collections
Example
This command returns a list of all the existing collections in the gfgDB database.
Output:
NA

MongoDB Insert() was used in earlier versions to insert documents into a
collection. It allowed inserting either a single document or multiple documents in
Experiment one go.
Description However, it has been deprecated since MongoDB version 3.2 in favor of more
specialized methods like insertOne(), insertMany() and bulkWrite().
Examples of MongoDB Insert()
Let‟s see some examples of MongoDB db.Collection.insert() Method to insert new
documents in the MongoDB Collection.
In the following examples, we are working with:
Database: gfg
Collection: student
Document: No document but, we want to insert in the form of the student name and
student marks.
Experiment
Code/Procedure
Example 1: Insert a Document without Specifying an _id Field
Here, we insert a document in the “student” collection whose name is “Akshay” and
marks is “500” using insert() method.
db.student.insert({Name: "Akshay", Marks: 500})
Insert Document with Array: Use the insert() method to add a document to the students
collection. In this example, we will include an array of "Viva Questions".
db.students.insert({
name: "John Doe",
roll_number: "12345",
viva_questions: [
"What is polymorphism?",
"Explain the concept of inheritance.",
"What are the four pillars of OOP?",
"How does a database index work?"
})

Experiment Title MongoDB Primary Key: Example to set _id field with ObjectId()
CO1.To show process of creation secure databases with MongoDB
Course Outcome CO2.To demonstrate manipulation and maintenance of database.
(CO) CO3.To demonstrate creation of model and use data in a No SQL environment
with MongoDB.
Tools/Apparatus MongoDB 4.4
Required Windows 10/11
Experiment In this experiment, we‟ll explore how to set a primary key in MongoDB by providing
Description detailed explanations and examples to understand and implement this concept effectively.
1. Using the _id Field
MongoDB automatically generates a unique _id value for each document if one is not
provided explicitly. Let‟s see an example:
// Inserting a document without specifying the _id field
db.users.insertOne({ "name": "Alice" });
Output:
{
"_id": ObjectId("6156d8f013c92ec9f5b8b36f"),
"name": "Alice"
}
In this example, MongoDB automatically generates a unique ObjectId value for the
_id field.
Experiment 2. Using Custom _id Field
Code/Procedure
We can specify our own custom _id value for a document. This value should be unique
within the collection to avoid conflicts. Let‟s see an example:
// Inserting a document with a custom _id field
db.users.insertOne({ "_id": 1001, "name": "Bob" });
Output:
{
"_id": 1001,
"name": "Bob"
}
In this example, we explicitly specify the _id field with the value 1001.
3. Using Unique Index
We can create a unique index on a field to apply uniqueness and use it as a primary key.
Let‟s create a unique index on the email field:
// Creating a unique index on the email field
db.users.createIndex({ "email": 1 }, { unique: true
});
Now, when inserting documents, MongoDB will enforce uniqueness on the email field,
effectively making it act as a primary key.
