[Packtpub] Learning MongoDB Schema, Indexes and Queries

Understand how good design facilitates scale and achieve top performance by gaining insights into indexing strategies.

Video Description

MongoDB makes it possible to store and process large sets of data in ways that increase business value. The flexibility of unstructured, schema-less, storage, combined with robust querying and post-processing functionality, make MongoDB a compelling solution for enterprise big data needs.

We need to discuss database schemas. Yes, MongoDB is touted as schema-less but here’s where we show that proper design is what allows our collections to scale. Indexing is something everyone talks about, but few understand. We’ll explain MongoDB indexing, and index properties because a successful indexing strategy is a key to performance and scaling. Finally, we’ll talk about CRUD commands from the MongoDB client and how to write effective queries.

Taking this course will help you understand supported standards and data types in MongoDB, and best practices to design collections to scale and index them. Also, you will learn some basic CRUD commands.

Style and Approach

Through real-world and best-practice data schemas, we show you how design impacts performance and show you how to scale your system. We demonstrate the effective use of MongoDB queries for inserting, updating, deleting, and fetching data.

What You Will Learn

• A collection schema matters in a schema-less system; or, when to stop de-normalizing data relationships
• How a data schema impacts scale
• Introduction to database indexing: concepts and terminology
• How indexes increase operational overhead but improve query performance
• MongoDB Indexes vs. index properties
• Advanced index concepts and indexing best-practices
• CRUD commands from the MongoDB client; how to combine simple JavaScript with BSON queries to populate sample tables, and how to use queries effectively to maintain your database
• Administrative queries; how to delete collections or even entire databases.
• How to apply indexes, or query to see what indexes already exist.
• Perform a quick backup and recovery of your collections
