1) Here's my schema:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("53f4db1d968166157c2d57ce"),
"init" : "SJ",
"name" : "Steve Jobs",
"companies" : [
{
"_id" : ObjectId("53f4db1d968166157c2d57cf"),
"ticker" : "AAPL",
"compname" : "Apple"
},
{
"_id" : ObjectId("53f4db1d968166157c2d57d0"),
"ticker" : "MSFT",
"compname" : "Microsoft"
},
{
"_id" : ObjectId("53f4db1d968166157c2d57d1"),
"ticker" : "ABC",
"compname" : "iTunes"
},
{
"_id" : ObjectId("53f4db1d968166157c2d57d2"),
"ticker" : "DEF",
"compname" : "iPad Mini"
}
]
}
I'm trying to get a list of compnames, using Powershell & MongoDB. Here's what I have so far:
$databaseName = "CompanyInfo"
$collectionName = "comps"
$client = New-Object -TypeName MongoDB.Driver.MongoClient -ArgumentList "mongodb://localhost:27017"
$server = $client.GetServer()
$database = $server.GetDatabase($databaseName)
$collection = $database.GetCollection($collectionName)
$query['init'] = "SJ"
$results = $collection.FindOne($query)
foreach ($result in $results) {
write-host $result["companies.ticker"] /// Doesn't show me any records
}
This doesn't show me any records. How can I display companies.ticker info where init = "SJ"?
2) Btw, I get the following error after
$query['init'] = "SJ"
error
Cannot index into a null array.
At line:9 char:1
+ $query['init'] = "SJ"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NullArray
Any ideas as to why? I only have the MongoDB's standard index, which is on "_id", nothing else. My powershell script still works but I'm curious as to why I get that error.
[UPDATE Part 2] Thanks to @arco444, I no longer get error in part 2. Here's my revised code:
$query = @{'init' = "SJ"}
$collection.FindOne([MongoDB.Driver.QueryDocument]$query)
But I actually need help with part 1 - which is to display only the company tickers for a particular init. Any ideas on that one?
[ANSWER Part 1] Thanks again to @arco444 for directing me to the right path. After some tinkering around, I figured out what I missed. Here's my updated code:
$databaseName = "CompanyInfo"
$collectionName = "comps"
$client = New-Object -TypeName MongoDB.Driver.MongoClient -ArgumentList "mongodb://localhost:27017"
$server = $client.GetServer()
$database = $server.GetDatabase($databaseName)
$collection = $database.GetCollection($collectionName)
$query = new-object MongoDB.Driver.QueryDocument("init","SJ") /// Updated
$results = $collection.FindOne($query)
foreach ($result in $results["companies"]) { /// Updated
write-host $result["ticker"] /// Updated
}
