$gte

  • $gte
  • Syntax: {field: {$gte: value} }

$gte selects the documents where the value of thefield is greater than or equal to (i.e. >=) a specifiedvalue (e.g. value.)

For most data types, comparisonoperators only performcomparisons on fields where theBSON type matches thequery value’s type. MongoDB supports limited cross-BSON comparisonthrough Type Bracketing.

Consider the following example:

  1. db.inventory.find( { qty: { $gte: 20 } } )

This query would select all documents in inventory wherethe qty field value is greater than or equal to 20.

Consider the following example which uses the $gteoperator with a field from an embedded document:

  1. db.inventory.update( { "carrier.fee": { $gte: 2 } }, { $set: { price: 9.99 } } )

This update() operation will setthe value of the price field that contain the embedded documentcarrier whose fee field value is greater than or equal to2.
