$gte
On this page
$gte$gteselects the documents where the value of the specified field is greater than or equal to (i.e.>=) a specified value (e.g.value.)For most data types, comparison operators only perform comparisons on fields where the BSON type matches the query value's type. MongoDB supports limited cross-BSON comparison through Type Bracketing.
Compatibility
You can use $gte for deployments hosted in the following
environments:
MongoDB Atlas: The fully managed service for MongoDB deployments in the cloud
MongoDB Enterprise: The subscription-based, self-managed version of MongoDB
MongoDB Community: The source-available, free-to-use, and self-managed version of MongoDB
Syntax
The $gte operator has the following form:
{ field: { $gte: value } }
Examples
db.inventory.find( { qty: { $gte: 20 } } )
This query would select all documents in inventory where
the qty field value is greater than or equal to 20.
Consider the following example which uses the $gte
operator with a field from an embedded document:
db.inventory.update( { "carrier.fee": { $gte: 2 } }, { $set: { price: 9.99 } } )
This update() operation will set
the value of the price field that contain the embedded document
carrier whose fee field value is greater than or equal to
2.
