Query using range of date in MongoDB in Java

Question

I am new at using MongoDB. I have it filled with receipts, for example: one receipt looks like this :

{ 
  \"_id\" : { 
          \"$oid\" : \"510fa057c6f818         


        

Answer 1

You could try:

    Date gtDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS").parse("2012-06-20T10:05:21.968");
    Date lteDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS").parse("2012-09-24T05:29:43.031");
    BasicDBObject dateQueryObj = new BasicDBObject("Date",  new BasicDBObject("$gt", gtDate).append("$lte", lteDate));

    DBCursor cursor = collection.find(dateQueryObj);
