Syntax error MongoDB query to update all documents matching specific IDs

MongoDB query to update all documents matching specific IDs



Use the updateMany() function to update all documents that match the filter criteria. Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo476.insertOne({_id:1,"Name":"Chris"});
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 1 }
> db.demo476.insertOne({_id:2,"Name":"David"});
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 2 }
> db.demo476.insertOne({_id:3,"Name":"Bob"});
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 3 }
> db.demo476.insertOne({_id:4,"Name":"Carol"});
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 4 }

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

> db.demo476.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : 1, "Name" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : 2, "Name" : "David" }
{ "_id" : 3, "Name" : "Bob" }
{ "_id" : 4, "Name" : "Carol" }

Following is the query to update all documents matching specific IDs −

> db.demo476.updateMany({_id:{$in:[1,3]}},{$set:{Name:"Robert"}});
{ "acknowledged" : true, "matchedCount" : 2, "modifiedCount" : 2 }

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

> db.demo476.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : 1, "Name" : "Robert" }
{ "_id" : 2, "Name" : "David" }
{ "_id" : 3, "Name" : "Robert" }
{ "_id" : 4, "Name" : "Carol" }
