Features

Colorized Shell

API Extensions

Filter for filtering a collection of documents

db.collection.filter() -- accepts less parameters than find, simply matches

One for finding a single document

db.collection.filter({ ... }).one() # equivalent to db.collection.findOne({ ... })

Select for projection

db.collection.filter({ ... }).select({ name: 1 })  # only returns the name and _id fields

Update, Replace, Upsert and Remove can be called on a DBQuery Object

db.collection.filter({ ... }).update({ ... })           # multi update
db.collection.filter({ ... }).replace({ ... })          # single replacement
db.collection.filter({ ... }).upsert({ ... })            # single upsert
db.collection.filter({ ... }).remove()                   # multi remove

Sort, limit, and skip through multi updates and removes

db.collection.filter({ ... }).limit(7).update({ ... })
db.collection.filter({ ... }).sort({ ... }).skip(1).limit(3).update({ ... })
db.collection.filter({ ... }).limit(3).remove()

Aggregation Framework Helpers

Group and Count

gcount(group_field, filter)

Group and Sum

gsum(group_field, sum_field, filter)

Group and Sum

gavg(group_field, avg_field, filter)

Sensible Defaults

• Display document keys in sorted order
• A prompt that shows current database, version, and process name
• Verbose shell enabled (shows query timing information)
• Auto multi update (works just like update in SQL)
• Two spaces indent (why waste the space?)
• Colon next to keys (looks nicer right?)

Index Paranoia

Print index usage information on every query (default false)

Colorize and Highlight Query Time

Highlights slow running queries
