MongoDB for SQL Experts

Learn the difference between MongoDB Query Language and Structured Query Language (SQL). You'll also learn how to translate SQL create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) statements into MongoDB CRUD statements.

MongoDB for SQL Experts

Unit Overview

In this unit, you’ll learn how MongoDB differs from traditional relational database management systems (RDBMS). Then, you’ll learn how to translate a SQL INSERT statement into MongoDB insertOne and insertMany operations, and a SQL query into a MongoDB query. Next, you’ll learn how to translate SQL UPDATE, DELETE, and JOIN statements into MongoDB operations.

Vick Mena | Director, Curriculum

Vick Mena | Director, Curriculum

My name is Vick and I've been in the wild for over 25 years. I grew up at IBM working on the BIOS for the IBM eServer line in Austin, TX before moving to Wall St. I've worked on all phases of software development from low-level to middleware to UI but feel most comfortable in the middle. I also drank the devops kool-aid having moved a product line to AWS while at Dow Jones & Co with the help of an amazing team. I then pivoted into the secure space and worked on software/hardware reverse engineering. I always thought I'd eventually teach and this role lets me leverage all of my experience to lead this motley crew of passionate educators.
