Syntax error MongoDB query to find documents with specific FirstName and LastName

MongoDB query to find documents with specific FirstName and LastName



To find documents with specific FirstName and LastName, use $and along with $in. Implement this in MongoDB find(). Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo692.insertOne({FirstName:"Chris","LastName":"Brown"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5ea585dca7e81adc6a0b396a")
}
> db.demo692.insertOne({FirstName:"John","LastName":"Brown"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5ea585e2a7e81adc6a0b396b")
}
> db.demo692.insertOne({FirstName:"John","LastName":"Smith"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5ea585e7a7e81adc6a0b396c")
}
> db.demo692.insertOne({FirstName:"John","LastName":"Doe"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5ea585efa7e81adc6a0b396d")
}
> db.demo692.insertOne({FirstName:"Adam","LastName":"Smith"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5ea585faa7e81adc6a0b396e")
}

Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo692.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ea585dca7e81adc6a0b396a"), "FirstName" : "Chris", "LastName" : "Brown" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ea585e2a7e81adc6a0b396b"), "FirstName" : "John", "LastName" : "Brown" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ea585e7a7e81adc6a0b396c"), "FirstName" : "John", "LastName" : "Smith" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ea585efa7e81adc6a0b396d"), "FirstName" : "John", "LastName" : "Doe" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ea585faa7e81adc6a0b396e"), "FirstName" : "Adam", "LastName" : "Smith" }

Following is the query to find documents with specific FirstName and LastName −

> db.demo692.find({$and:[ {FirstName: {$in: ["Chris", "John"]}},
... {LastName:{$in:["Brown", "Smith"]}}
... ]
... }
... );

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ea585dca7e81adc6a0b396a"), "FirstName" : "Chris", "LastName" : "Brown" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ea585e2a7e81adc6a0b396b"), "FirstName" : "John", "LastName" : "Brown" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ea585e7a7e81adc6a0b396c"), "FirstName" : "John", "LastName" : "Smith" }
