MongoDB: Updating the document while entirely replacing it










1















db.so.insert("name":"Bob", "sex": "Male", "location": "France")
db.so.update("name":"Bob", // search
"name":"Bob", "occupation":"The Builder") // replace


I need to do a full update, ie. replace the entire document with the new object, but in this case the sex and location fields remain since I'm not providing those fields in the update query.

  • Have you tried using the upsert option of the update?

  • I'm already using upsert, I believe its for when the document doesn't exist at all, it will insert it.

    May be you can try this docs.mongodb.com/php-library/master/reference/method/… if your intention was to replace the document.
