{\"_id\":\"1\",\"ln\":\"ln         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem and

db.coll.find({"mykey":{'$exists': 1}})

worked for me

Answer 2

To find if a key/field exists in your document use the $exists operator.

Via the MongoDB shell ...

db.things.find( { ln : { $exists : true } } );

Answer 3

db.collection.find({ ln: { $exists: true} });

The $size operator matches any array with the number of elements specified by the argument. For example:

db.collection.find({ ln: { $exists: true, $size: 0 } });

$size does not accept ranges of values. To select documents based on fields with different numbers of elements, create a counter field that you increment when you add elements to a field.
