Create a Collection with Queryable Encryption

Queryable Encryption with equality queries is generally available (GA) in MongoDB 7.0 and later. The Queryable Encryption Public Preview, released in version 6.0, is no longer supported. Data encrypted using the Public Preview is incompatible with the feature release. For more information, see Compatibility Changes in MongoDB 7.0.

Queryable Encryption allows you to encrypt a subset of fields in your collection.
