Specifies a query condition using Query Selectors to select documents for an update or a remove operation. To specify all documents, use an empty document {}.

Example¶

The following example initializes a Bulk() operations builder for the items collection and adds a remove operation and an update operation to the list of operations. The remove operation and the update operation use the Bulk.find() method to specify a condition for their respective actions:

copy

var bulk = db.items.initializeUnorderedBulkOp();
bulk.find( { status: "D" } ).remove();
bulk.find( { status: "P" } ).update( { $set: { points: 0 } } )
bulk.execute();
