Sorting and Limiting Data in MongoDB: Intermediate-Level Quiz

Sorting and Limiting Data in MongoDB Quiz

This quiz will test your understanding of MongoDB's sorting, limiting, and skipping features, helping you control query results for efficient data retrieval. Get ready to dive into key methods like sort(), limit(), and skip(), and learn how to organize query results effectively. Good luck!

True

False

4 / 20

To return only the top 10 highest scores from a scores collection, which of the following queries is correct?

db.scores.find().sort({score: -1}).limit(10)

db.scores.find().sort({score: -10}).limit(1)

db.scores.find().limit(-10).sort({score: -1})

db.scores.find().sort({score: 1}).limit(10)

5 / 20

True

False

6 / 20

True

False

7 / 20

Which of the following MongoDB queries sorts documents by the age field in ascending order and limits the result to 5 documents?

db.collection.find().limit(5).sort({age: 1})

db.collection.find().sort({age: 1}).limit(5)

db.collection.find({age: 1}).limit(5).sort()

db.collection.find().sort({age: -1}).limit(5)

8 / 20

To retrieve the 5th through 10th documents from a sorted list, which combination of methods should you use?

sort().skip(4).limit(6)

sort().skip(4).limit(5)

sort().limit(5).skip(10)

sort().skip(10).limit(5)

9 / 20

If both skip() and limit() are applied to a query, the skip() the function is processed before limit() in MongoDB. True or False?

True

False

10 / 20

When using sort() and skip() together, which operation is executed first in MongoDB?

It depends on the document size

skip()

They are executed simultaneously

sort()

11 / 20

Which MongoDB method allows you to skip a specified number of documents in the query result?

remove()

exclude()

skip()

omit()

12 / 20

Which method is used in MongoDB to sort query results in ascending or descending order?

sortBy()

order()

limit()

sort()

13 / 20

Which MongoDB method would you use to retrieve documents starting from the 6th result in a query?

offset(6)

skip(5)

limit(6)

start(6)

14 / 20

In MongoDB, what happens if you apply limit(0) to a query?

No documents are returned

Only the first document is returned

An error is generated

The entire dataset is returned

15 / 20

In MongoDB, you can sort query results by multiple fields by passing multiple key-value pairs to the sort() method.

True

False

16 / 20

You can use the sort() method to arrange results by multiple fields, and MongoDB will use left-to-right precedence for the order specified. True or False?

True

False

17 / 20

What is the default order of sorting when using sort() without specifying 1 or -1?

Ascending

Alphabetical

Descending

Random

18 / 20

What would db.collection.find().sort({field1: 1, field2: -1}) do?

Sort by field2 descending only

Sort by field1 ascending, then field2 descending for ties on field1

Sort by field1 ascending only

Sort by field1 descending, then field2 ascending for ties on field1

19 / 20

When using sort() with an index, how does MongoDB optimize sorting?

It temporarily duplicates the collection for faster sorting

It reorders documents in the collection

It uses sorting algorithms at the server level

It leverages the index to retrieve documents in sorted order

20 / 20

The sort() and limit() methods can be combined in MongoDB to refine query results. True or False?

True

False

Your score is

The average score is 0%

Sorting and Limiting Data in MongoDB is crucial for database developers and administrators. This is crucial, especially if you want to optimize data retrieval, improve query performance, and effectively manage large volumes of data in MongoDB.

This quiz is for intermediate MongoDB users looking to test their skills in efficiently retrieving, sorting, and limiting data within MongoDB to optimize query performance, especially in production environments handling large datasets.

Best of luck!
