How to use unique Index in MongoDB
This article will explain in detail how to use the unique index in MongoDB. The content of the article is of high quality. Therefore, Xiaobian shares it with you as a reference. I hope you have a certain understanding of relevant knowledge after reading this article.
The primary purpose of a unique index is to use it on a field so that the contents of that field are not duplicated.
Example: Creating a Unique Index
> db.emp.createIndex({"name":1},{"unique":true})
{
"createdCollectionAutomatically" : false,
"numIndexesBefore" : 1,
"numIndexesAfter" : 2,
"ok" : 1
}
Duplication is not allowed in the name field.
Example: Adding name duplicate data to emp collection
> db.emp.insert({"name":"king","sex":"male","age":35,"sal":8000,"loc":"Beijing"});
WriteResult({
"nInserted" : 0,
"writeError" : {
"code" : 11000,
"errmsg" : "E11000 duplicate key error collection: hr.emp index: name_1 dup key: { : \" Wangba\" }"
}
})
The above error message occurs because a unique index is set on the name field.
