How to select a single field for all documents in a MongoDB collection?

Question

In my MongoDB, I have a student collection with 10 records having fields name and roll. One record of this collection is:

{
    \"         


        

Answer 1

I think mattingly890 has the correct answer , here is another example along with the pattern/commmand

db.collection.find( {}, {your_key:1, _id:0})

Answer 2

Try the following query:

db.student.find({}, {roll: 1, _id: 0}).pretty();

Hope this helps!!
