Advanced Indexing Techniques in MongoDB

This quiz explores Advanced Indexing Techniques in MongoDB, focusing on optimizing query performance and data retrieval through specialized index types. You'll encounter questions on compound, multikey, TTL, and wildcard indexes, as well as best practices for index creation and usage. Good luck!

1 / 20

Which of the following indexes is best suited for handling text search queries in MongoDB?

Hash Index

Compound Index

Text Index

Geospatial Index

2 / 20

A unique index in MongoDB can prevent duplicate values in a specified field across documents in a collection. True or False?

True

False

3 / 20

Which index type would be best for indexing a collection with highly dynamic or unknown field names?

TTL Index

Text Index

Compound Index

Wildcard Index

4 / 20

Compound indexes can include multikey indexes in MongoDB. True or False?

True

False

5 / 20

MongoDB supports the creation of indexes on embedded document fields, allowing efficient queries on deeply nested data. True or False?

True

False

6 / 20

When using a compound index, which order of fields should be chosen for indexing to optimize performance?

Fields with the highest cardinality should come last

Random order does not impact performance

Fields that are least queried should be first

The fields used in the most frequent queries should come first

7 / 20

Which of the following is NOT recommended when creating indexes for high-performance queries in MongoDB?

Using compound indexes for complex queries

Creating single-field indexes for frequently queried fields

Creating indexes on frequently updated fields

Using multikey indexes for arrays

8 / 20

Which of the following is NOT true about compound indexes in MongoDB?

They are always faster than single-field indexes

They can include multiple fields in a single index

They are useful for complex queries that match on multiple fields

They can support efficient sorting for multi-field queries

9 / 20

In MongoDB, what is the primary benefit of a sparse index?

It optimizes text search across fields

It uses less disk space by indexing only non-null values

It is faster than compound indexes

It creates indexes on all fields dynamically

10 / 20

An index build in MongoDB can be either foreground or background, where background indexing allows read and write operations during the build. True or False?

True

False

11 / 20

What is a potential disadvantage of using multikey indexes on large arrays in MongoDB?

They are incompatible with sharded clusters

They consume more storage and can increase query time

They improve performance for small arrays only

They don’t support compound indexes

12 / 20

Wildcard indexes allow indexing across fields with varying or unknown field names in MongoDB. True or False?

True

False

13 / 20

Multikey indexes in MongoDB support arrays of documents with nested arrays. True or False?

True

False

14 / 20

What is the default sort order for a compound index in MongoDB if no order is specified?

Fields are ordered randomly

Ascending for all fields

Alphabetically sorted based on field names

Descending for all fields

15 / 20

Which of the following is an important consideration when using TTL (Time-to-Live) indexes in MongoDB?

TTL indexes prevent data from being deleted

TTL indexes require a compound index

TTL indexes are applied to all indexes automatically

TTL indexes only support Date fields for expiration

16 / 20

Which index type is optimized specifically for spatial data, allowing queries for location-based data such as longitude and latitude?

2dsphere Index

Wildcard Index

Hash Index

2d Index

17 / 20

Which type of index should be avoided for fields with low cardinality (i.e., few distinct values) to prevent performance issues?

Single-field Index

Multikey Index

Text Index

Unique Index

18 / 20

Which index type is optimized for queries that involve fields with a high cardinality of unique values?

Sparse Index

Hash Index

Unique Index

Wildcard Index

19 / 20

If a compound index is created on fields name and age, which of the following queries will use this index effectively?

Querying by name only

Querying by both name and age together

Querying by age only

Both A and B

20 / 20

What is the advantage of a covered query in MongoDB?

It uses geospatial indexing for accuracy

It only returns documents with indexed fields

It retrieves data without scanning the entire document, using only the index

It requires no indexes
