SQL to Aggregation Mapping Chart

On this page
The aggregation pipeline allows MongoDB to provide native aggregation capabilities that corresponds to many common data aggregation operations in SQL.
The following table provides an overview of common SQL aggregation terms, functions, and concepts and the corresponding MongoDB aggregation operators:
| SQL Terms, Functions, and Concepts | MongoDB Aggregation Operators |
|---|---|
| WHERE | $match |
| GROUP BY | $group |
| HAVING | $match |
| SELECT | $project |
| ORDER BY | $sort |
| LIMIT | $limit |
| SUM() | $sum |
| COUNT() | $sum |
| join |

Examples
The following table presents a quick reference of SQL aggregation statements and the corresponding MongoDB statements. The examples in the table assume the following conditions:
-
The SQL examples assume two tables, orders and order_lineitem that join by theorder_lineitem.order_id and the orders.id columns.
-
The MongoDB examples assume one collection orders that contain documents of the following prototype:
{ cust_id: "abc123", ord_date: ISODate("2012-11-02T17:04:11.102Z"), status: 'A', price: 50, items: [ { sku: "xxx", qty: 25, price: 1 }, { sku: "yyy", qty: 25, price: 1 } ] }

SELECT COUNT(*) AS count
FROM orders
|
db.orders.aggregate( [
{
$group: {
_id: null,
count: { $sum: 1 }
}
}
] )
|
Count all records from orders |
SELECT SUM(price) AS total
FROM orders
|
db.orders.aggregate( [
{
$group: {
_id: null,
total: { $sum: "$price" }
}
}
] )
|
Sum the price field from orders |
SELECT cust_id,
SUM(price) AS total
FROM orders
GROUP BY cust_id
|
db.orders.aggregate( [
{
$group: {
_id: "$cust_id",
total: { $sum: "$price" }
}
}
] )
|
For each unique cust_id, sum theprice field. |
SELECT cust_id,
SUM(price) AS total
FROM orders
GROUP BY cust_id
ORDER BY total
|
db.orders.aggregate( [
{
$group: {
_id: "$cust_id",
total: { $sum: "$price" }
}
},
{ $sort: { total: 1 } }
] )
|
For each unique cust_id, sum theprice field, results sorted by sum. |
SELECT cust_id,
ord_date,
SUM(price) AS total
FROM orders
GROUP BY cust_id,
ord_date
|
db.orders.aggregate( [

year: { $year: "$ord_date"}
}
},
total: { $sum: "$price" }

|
For each unique cust_id, ord_dategrouping, sum the price field. Excludes the time portion of the date. |
SELECT cust_id,
count(*)
FROM orders
GROUP BY cust_id
HAVING count(*) > 1
|
db.orders.aggregate( [
{
$group: {
_id: "$cust_id",
count: { $sum: 1 }
}
},
{ $match: { count: { $gt: 1 } } }
] )
|
For cust_id with multiple records, return the cust_id and the corresponding record count. |
SELECT cust_id,
ord_date,
SUM(price) AS total
FROM orders
GROUP BY cust_id,
ord_date
HAVING total > 250

},
total: { $sum: "$price" }
}
},
{ $match: { total: { $gt: 250 } } }
] )
|
For each unique cust_id, ord_dategrouping, sum the price field and return only where the sum is greater than 250. Excludes the time portion of the date. |
SELECT cust_id,
SUM(price) as total
FROM orders
WHERE status = 'A'

|
For each unique cust_id with status A, sum the price field. |
SELECT cust_id,
SUM(price) as total
FROM orders
WHERE status = 'A'
GROUP BY cust_id
HAVING total > 250
|
db.orders.aggregate( [

total: { $sum: "$price" }
}
},
{ $match: { total: { $gt: 250 } } }
] )
|
For each unique cust_id with status A, sum the price field and return only where the sum is greater than 250. |

{ $unwind: "$items" },
{
$group: {
_id: "$cust_id",
qty: { $sum: "$items.qty" }

}
] )
|
For each unique cust_id, sum the corresponding line item qty fields associated with the orders. |
