How to query MongoDB with “like”?

Question

I want to query something with SQL\'s like query:

SELECT * FROM users  WHERE name LIKE \'%m%\'

How to do I achieve the same in

Answer 1

In SQL, the ‘like’ query is looks like this :

select * from users where name like '%m%'

In MongoDB console, it looks like this :

db.users.find({"name": /m/})     // Not JSON formatted

db.users.find({"name": /m/}).pretty()  // JSON formatted

In addion pretty() method will in all the places where produce formatted JSON structure which is more readable.
