In addition to the charts that follow, you might want to consider the Frequently Asked Questions section for a selection of common questions about MongoDB.
Terminology and Concepts
The following table presents the various SQL terminology and concepts and the corresponding MongoDB terminology and concepts.
SQL Terms/Concepts | MongoDB Terms/Concepts |
---|---|
database | database |
table | collection |
row | document or BSON document |
column | field |
index | index |
table joins | embedded documents and linking |
primary key
Specify any unique column or column combination as primary key.
|
primary key
In MongoDB, the primary key is automatically set to the _id field.

aggregation (e.g. group by) |
aggregation pipeline

Executables
The following table presents some database executables and the corresponding MongoDB executables. This table is not meant to be exhaustive.
MongoDB | MySQL | Oracle | Informix | DB2 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Database Server | mongod | mysqld | oracle | IDS | DB2 Server |
Database Client | mongo | mysql | sqlplus | DB-Access | DB2 Client |
Examples
The following table presents the various SQL statements and the corresponding MongoDB statements. The examples in the table assume the following conditions:
- The SQL examples assume a table named users.
- The MongoDB examples assume a collection named users that contain documents of the following prototype:{_id: ObjectId("509a8fb2f3f4948bd2f983a0"),user_id: "abc123",age: 55,status: 'A'}
Create and Alter
The following table presents the various SQL statements related to table-level actions and the corresponding MongoDB statements.
SQL Schema Statements | MongoDB Schema Statements |
---|---|
CREATE TABLE users (
id MEDIUMINT NOT NULL
AUTO_INCREMENT,
user_id Varchar(30),
age Number,
status char(1),
PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
|
Implicitly created on first insert() operation. The primary key_id is automatically added if _id field is not specified.
db.users.insert( {
user_id: "abc123",
age: 55,
status: "A"
} )
However, you can also explicitly create a collection:
db.createCollection("users")
|
ALTER TABLE users
ADD join_date DATETIME
|
Collections do not describe or enforce the structure of its documents; i.e. there is no structural alteration at the collection level.
However, at the document level, update() operations can add fields to existing documents using the $set operator.
db.users.update(
{ },
{ $set: { join_date: new Date() } },
{ multi: true }
)
|
ALTER TABLE users
DROP COLUMN join_date
|
Collections do not describe or enforce the structure of its documents; i.e. there is no structural alteration at the collection level.
However, at the document level, update() operations can remove fields from documents using the $unset operator.
db.users.update(
{ },
{ $unset: { join_date: "" } },
{ multi: true }
)
|
CREATE INDEX idx_user_id_asc
ON users(user_id)
| db.users.createIndex( { user_id: 1 } )
|
CREATE INDEX
idx_user_id_asc_age_desc
ON users(user_id, age DESC)
| db.users.createIndex( { user_id: 1, age: -1 } )
|
DROP TABLE users
| db.users.drop()
|
Insert
The following table presents the various SQL statements related to inserting records into tables and the corresponding MongoDB statements.
SQL INSERT Statements | MongoDB insert() Statements |
---|---|
INSERT INTO users(user_id,
age,
status)
VALUES ("bcd001",
45,
"A")
| db.users.insert(
{ user_id: "bcd001", age: 45, status: "A" }
)
|
Select
The following table presents the various SQL statements related to reading records from tables and the corresponding MongoDB statements.
NOTE
The find() method always includes the _id field in the returned documents unless specifically excluded through projection. Some of the SQL queries below may include an _id field to reflect this, even if the field is not included in the corresponding find() query.

Examples
The following table presents a quick reference of SQL aggregation statements and the corresponding MongoDB statements. The examples in the table assume the following conditions:
- The SQL examples assume two tables, orders and order_lineitem that join by theorder_lineitem.order_id and the orders.id columns.
- The MongoDB examples assume one collection orders that contain documents of the following prototype:
{ cust_id: "abc123", ord_date: ISODate("2012-11-02T17:04:11.102Z"), status: 'A', price: 50, items: [ { sku: "xxx", qty: 25, price: 1 }, { sku: "yyy", qty: 25, price: 1 } ] }
