Syntax error MongoDB query to update the nested document?

MongoDB query to update the nested document?



To update the nested document, use update() and within that, use dot notation. Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo607.insertOne(
...    {
...       id:1,
...       "Info1" : {
...          "Name" : "Chris",
...          "Age" : 21,
...
...          "Info2" : {
...             "SubjectName" : "MongoDB",
...             "Marks" : 89
...          }
...       }
...    }
... );
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e9742a5f57d0dc0b182d62a")
}

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

> db.demo607.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e9742a5f57d0dc0b182d62a"), "id" : 1, "Info1" :
   { "Name" : "Chris", "Age" : 21, "Info2" : { "SubjectName" : "MongoDB", "Marks" : 89 } } 
}

Following is the query to update nested document −

> db.demo607.update({id:1},{$set:{"Info1.Info2.Marks":90}})
WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 1 })

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

> db.demo607.find().pretty();

This will produce the following output −

{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5e9742a5f57d0dc0b182d62a"),
   "id" : 1,
   "Info1" : {
      "Name" : "Chris",
      "Age" : 21,
      "Info2" : {
         "SubjectName" : "MongoDB",
         "Marks" : 90
      }
   }
}
