Insert Documents

Query Documents
Find documents in a collection using search criteria.
Modify Documents
Modify documents in a collection
Remove Documents
Remove documents from a collection.
Limit Fields to Return from a Query
Limit which fields are returned by a query.
Limit Number of Elements in an Array after an Update
Use $push with modifiers to sort and maintain an array of fixed size.
Iterate a Cursor in the mongo Shell
Access documents returned by a find query by iterating the cursor, either manually or using the iterator index.
Analyze Query Performance
Use query introspection (i.e. explain) to analyze the efficiency of queries and determine how a query uses available indexes.
Perform Two Phase Commits
Use two-phase commits when writing data to multiple documents.
Update Document if Current
Update a document only if it has not changed since it was last read.
Create Tailable Cursor
Create tailable cursors for use in capped collections with high numbers of write operations for which an index would be too expensive.
Create an Auto-Incrementing Sequence Field
Describes how to create an incrementing sequence number for the _id field using a Counters Collection or an Optimistic Loop.
