This is my old MySQL query.
SELECT Count(`status`) as amt, `status`
FROM (`users`)
GROUP BY `status`
Which would return something like
+---------+----------+
| amt | status |
+---------+----------+
| 3 | 0 |
| 210 | 1 |
| 330 | 2 |
| 4233 | 3 |
| 540085 | 4 |
+---------+----------+
This seems like the most basic of Mongo queries ever, but after many tries using $group
then told to use $aggregate
I still have no luck.
db.users.aggregate([ {
$group: {
_id: "$status",
amt: { $status: 1 }
}
} ] )
I thought this would work as selecting the status field, but since I included the $, it would count the amount of those grouped queries via the ` amt: { $status : 1 }
but my response is only
{ "result" : [ ], "ok" : 1 }
so it semi worked? but didn't return anything. I thought that is what the _id
part was for.
I was following this example: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/aggregation/group/
