• What is a database?
  • A Collection of information / data
  • Has an interface
• SQL (Relational) vs NoSQL (Non-Relational)

Looks like JSON, but is BSON (Binary JSON)

• mongod
• mongo
• help
• show dbs
• use
• insert
  • Example: db.dogs.insert({name: "Tux", breed: "Yorkie-Poodle"})
• find
  • Example: db.dogs.find()
    • db.dogs.find({name: "Tux"})
• update
  • Example: db.dogs.update({name:"Tux"}, {breed: "Poodle"})
    • The line above will find a dog named Tux, and update his information so that it only contains breed = Poodle. If we wanted to update Tux so that we just update his breed, use the code found below.
  • Example: db.dogs.update({name: "Tux"}, {$set: {breed: "Poodle"}})
    • This will preserve Tux's name, and update just the breed.
• remove
  • Example: db.dogs.remove({breed: "Poodle"})
    • Remove everything that matches
