Modify a View

On this page

  • Example
  • Drop and Recreate the View
  • Use the collMod Command

To modify a view, you can either:

Consider the following view named lowStock:

db.createView(
"lowStock",
"products",
[ { $match: { quantity: { $lte: 20 } } } ]
)

The following commands modify lowStock by dropping and recreating the view:

db.lowStock.drop()
db.createView(
"lowStock",
"products",
[ { $match: { quantity: { $lte: 10 } } } ]
)

Alternatively, you can use the collMod command to modify the view:

db.runCommand( {
collMod: "lowStock",
viewOn: "products",
"pipeline": [ { $match: { quantity: { $lte: 10 } } } ]
} )
