db.person.insert({
name   : 'Satish',
age    : 25,
skills : ['nodejs', 'mongoDB', 'HTML5']
});
 
db.person.insert({
name   : 'Kiran',
age    : 27,
skills : ['PHP', 'mySQL', 'HTML5']
});
 
db.person.insert({
name   : 'Sunitha',
age    : 24,
skills : ['html', 'ASP']
});
 
db.person.insert({
name   : 'Jyothi',
age    : 23,
skills : ['html', 'ASP']
});
 
db.person.insert({
name   : 'Varsha',
age    : 30,
skills : ['.NET', 'Java']
});
 
db.person.insert({
name   : 'Amogh',
age    : 29,

This JavaScript file contains some simple data, to be inserted into MongoDB server.
It contains, persons name, age and skills(in array form)
person is the collection name, we’re creating.

From our previous day video tutorial we already know, how to, Load Data From External JavaScript File: MongoDB.

C:\mongodb>cd bin
 
C:\mongodb\bin>mongo 127.0.0.1/satish C:/temp/load.js
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.3
connecting to: 127.0.0.1/satish
 
C:\mongodb\bin>mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.3
connecting to: test

Once these data/documents are loaded into new database, we start operating on this data using comparison operator.

Note:
Operators are useful when we do not know the exact value to be extracted or to fetch a range of values.
All mongoDB operators begin with $ sign.
