Query Structure
Writing efficient queries is crucial for performance. Here are some tips:
- Use Projections: Return only the fields you need. This reduces the amount of data transferred from the database. For example:
db.users.find({ name: "John" }, { name: 1, email: 1 })
- Avoid $where: The $where operator allows you to use JavaScript expressions in queries but is slow and should be avoided for performance-critical queries.
- Use $in and $nin Carefully: These operators can be slow for large arrays. Instead, use multiple $or conditions if possible.
