Syntax error Update values in multiple documents with multi parameter in MongoDB?

Update values in multiple documents with multi parameter in MongoDB?



You need to set multi to true. Include the option multi − true to update all documents that match the query criteria.

Let us first create a collection with documents −

> db.demo390.insertOne({"FirstName":"Chris"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e5d1f3a22064be7ab44e7fa")
}
> db.demo390.insertOne({"FirstName":"David"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e5d1f3e22064be7ab44e7fb")
}
> db.demo390.insertOne({"FirstName":"Bob"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e5d1f4122064be7ab44e7fc")
}
> db.demo390.insertOne({"FirstName":"Chris"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e5d1f4422064be7ab44e7fd")
}

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

> db.demo390.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e5d1f3a22064be7ab44e7fa"), "FirstName" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e5d1f3e22064be7ab44e7fb"), "FirstName" : "David" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e5d1f4122064be7ab44e7fc"), "FirstName" : "Bob" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e5d1f4422064be7ab44e7fd"), "FirstName" : "Chris" }

Following is the query to update values with multi − true −

> db.demo390.update({FirstName:"Chris"},{$set:{"FirstName":"John"}},{multi:true});
WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 2, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 2 })

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

> db.demo390.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e5d1f3a22064be7ab44e7fa"), "FirstName" : "John" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e5d1f3e22064be7ab44e7fb"), "FirstName" : "David" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e5d1f4122064be7ab44e7fc"), "FirstName" : "Bob" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e5d1f4422064be7ab44e7fd"), "FirstName" : "John" }
