In my MongoDB, I have a student collection with 10 records having fields name
and roll
. One record of this collection is:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("53d9feff55d6b4dd1171dd9e"),
"name" : "Swati",
"roll" : "80",
}
I want to retrieve the field roll
only for all 10 records in the collection as we would do in traditional database by using:
SELECT roll FROM student
I went through many blogs but all are resulting in a query which must have WHERE
clause in it, for example:
db.students.find({ "roll": { $gt: 70 })
The query is equivalent to:
SELECT * FROM student WHERE roll > 70
My requirement is to find a single key only without any condition. So, what is the query operation for that.
