Have an BsonDocument
collection with PhoneNumber in the "1234567890" format. This SQL gets all the PhoneNumbers with the Area Codes between 300 and 399;
WHERE (LEFT(PhoneNumber,3) BETWEEN '300' AND '399')
How would I do this in MongoDB? I would like to use the MongoDB.Driver.Builders
if possible.
If you just want phone number that's starts from number '3' you can just use smart decision of @mstearn, here just c# realization:
var query = Query.EQ("PhoneNumber", new BsonRegularExpression("^3"));
But lets say if you need query first 3 numbers in range 345 -- 369 to make it work (without slow operators: $where
, $regex
) you can create additional field and store there first 3 numbers (area code) of phone. And then use query proposed by @yi_H , here again c# driver realization:
var query = Query.GTE("PhoneAreaCode", 345).LTE(369);
Don't care about extra field in mongodb -- it's common practice. Extra fields usual working faster than any calculation during querying.
{'PhoneNumber': {'$gte': '300', '$lt': '400'}}
{'PhoneNumber': /^3/ } or {'PhoneNumber': {'$regex': '^3'}}
