Bulk update/upsert in MongoDB?

Is it possible to do bulk update/upsert (not insert) in MongoDB?

If yes, please point me to any docs related to this?

Thanks

Solution

  • You can use the command line program mongoimport it should be in your MongoDB bin dir ...

    There are two options you'll want to look into to use upsert ...

    --upsert insert or update objects that already exist
    --upsertFields arg comma-separated fields for the query part of the upsert. You should make sure this is indexed

    More info here: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Import+Export+Tools

    Or just do ...

    $ mongoimport --help
