Check Count, Delete Documents and Drop Collections in MongoDB

By
Checking the count of documents from collection in MongoDB:

In RDBMS, to check the count from table, we need to use count function. In MongoDB also, we have count() method to get the count from collection.

 Syntax:

 db.<Collection Name>.count()

Example:

db.FirstCollection.count(). This query will return the count of total number of records.

To get the count of records with specific filter then we need to use find() metho along with count().

Let's say we have records with different Student_Id values in StudentData collection. And we have to find the number of records with Student_Id 201. To do this, we have to pass below query.

db.StudentData.find({"Student_Id":201}).count()


Delete Documents in MongoDB:

In RDBMS, to delete data from table, we need to use DELETE statements.As MongoDB is noSQL database, we have to use remove() method to delete data from collection.

Syntax:

db.<Collection Name>.remove({<data selection criteria>},{<justOne: true or flase>})

to remove() method, we need to pass the query to select the data from collection to delete. Here, another option is there to limit the delete to one record. If you set "justOne" to true then it will delete only one record. This is optional.

Example:

Assume, i have a collection FirstCollection and I have records with Student_Id 201. I need to delete these records from collection.

db.FirstCollection.remove({"Student_ID":201})

The above query will delete all the records with the Student Id 201. In the above query, "{"Student_ID":201}" is data selection criteria to delete from collection.


To remove only one record, then pass true to the key "justOne".

db.FirstCollection.remove({"Student_ID":201},{justOne:true})


Drop collection in MongoDB:

In RDBMS, to delete data from table, we need to use DROP statements.As MongoDB is noSQL database, we have to use drop() method to delete data from collection.

Syntax:

db.<Collection Name>.drop()

This will drop the mentioned collection from the database,

Example:

Assume that you have to delete FirstCollection collection from database. to do this, you have to pass below command:

db.FirstCollection.drop()

drop() method will return "true" if collection dropped successfully. If collection does not exist to drop then drop() method will return "false".

Comparing Objects in Informatica

By
We might face a scenario where there may be difference between PRODUCTION v/s SIT version of code or any environment or between different folders in same environment. In here we go for comparison of objects we can compare between mappings,sessions,workflows In Designer it would be present under "Mappings" tab we can find "Compare" option. In workflow manger under "Tasks & Workfows" tab we can find "Compare" option for tasks and workflows comparison respectively. However the easiest and probably the best practice would be by doing using Repository Manager.In Repository Manager under "Edit" tab we can find "Compare" option. The advantage of using Repository manager it compares all the objects at one go i.e. workflow,session and mapping. Hence reducing the effort of individually checking the mapping and session separately. Once we select the folder and corresponding workflow we Can click compare for checking out ...

Finding Duplicate records and Deleting Duplicate records in TERADATA

By Anonymous
Requirement: Finding duplicates and removing duplicate records by retaining original record in TERADATA Suppose I am working in an office and My boss told me to enter the details of a person who entered in to office. I have below table structure. Create Table DUP_EXAMPLE ( PERSON_NAME VARCHAR2(50), PERSON_AGE INTEGER, ADDRS VARCHAR2(150), PURPOSE VARCHAR2(250), ENTERED_DATE DATE ) If a person enters more than once then I have to insert his details more than once. First time, I inserted below records. INSERT INTO DUP_EXAMPLE VALUES('Krishna reddy','25','BANGALORE','GENERAL',TO_DATE('01-JAN-2014','DD-MON-YYYY')) INSERT INTO DUP_EXAMPLE VALUES('Anirudh Allika','25','HYDERABAD','GENERAL',TO_DATE('01-JAN-2014','DD-MON-YYYY')) INSERT INTO DUP_EXAMPLE VALUES('Ashok Vunnam','25','CHENNAI','INTERVIEW',TO_DATE('01-JAN-2014',...

Updating Target Table in Informatica

By Anonymous
Generally, in every project we will see at least one requirement to update target based on some conditions. Case1: When we have primary key defined on table in Database Case2:   When we do not have primary key defined on table in Database Case3: When we want to update target based on non-primary key field. Let’s discuss it in detail. Case1: When we have primary key defined on table in Database After creating table in DB, import table as target along with primary key constraints. After done with importing, we can check the primary key details by editing target in target definition. In this case, we can use update strategy to update target table. Suppose, we have a table called RETURN_CD and primary key ROW_WID defined on that table. Now, we can update target table using update strategy based on primary key. In mapping, we should connect primary key port and the ports which we want to update in target table. Please check the below screenshot. And ...
