Let me explain.

The C in CRUD

Lets initialize the helper class and add some records. We create a family database and a members table.

B4X: 
Dim smongo As SithasoMongoDB
    'create a database named family with a table named members
    smongo.Initialize("127.0.0.1", 27017, "family", "members")
    'create the record to add
    Log("INSERT RECORD...")
    smongo.PrepareRecord
    smongo.SetField("firstname", "Anele")
    smongo.SetField("lastname", "Mbanga")
    smongo.SetField("gender", "Male")
    smongo.Insert

The R in CRUD

In this example, (well we dont have an id we know of, so we will select the records, move to the last record added, get its _id and then read that.

Getting the last record added
B4X: 
'* get the last record
    smongo.ClearWhere
    smongo.SelectAll
    smongo.MoveLast
    Dim id As String = smongo.GetID
    Log(id)

Now lets read that record using that ID.

B4X: 
'read a record using id
    smongo.Read(id)
    Log(smongo.RowCount & " record(s) read!")
    If smongo.RowCount = 1 Then
        smongo.MoveFirst
        Dim sname As String = smongo.GetString("firstname")
        Log(sname)
        Log(smongo.Record)
    End If

The U in CRUD

In this example, we use the last read id we got in the previous post. We then update the lastname and the age of the person.

B4X: 
'update an existing record by _id
    smongo.PrepareRecord
    smongo.SetField("_id", id)
    smongo.SetField("lastname", "Nguta")
    smongo.SetField("age", 52)
    smongo.Update
    Log(smongo.RowCount & " record(s) updated!")

We can also execute something like "UPDATE WHERE..." like this

B4X: 
Log("UPDATE RECORD...")
    smongo.ClearWhere
    'update where firstname = anele
    smongo.AddWhere("firstname", smongo.EQ_OP, "Anele")
    smongo.PrepareRecord
    'set these fields
    smongo.SetField("work", "Software Engineer")
    smongo.SetField("age", 51)
    smongo.Update
    Log(smongo.RowCount & " record(s) updated!")

This finds all records where the first name = "Anele", then the work and age fields are updated.

Using the same approach, you can also include fields that didnt exist before. Here we update all Males and add a "loves" field.

B4X: 
'update where
    Log("UPDATE WHERE")
    smongo.ClearWhere
    smongo.AddWhere("gender", smongo.EQ_OP, "Male")
    smongo.PrepareRecord
    smongo.SetField("loves", "b4x")
    smongo.Update
    Log(smongo.RowCount & " record(s) updated!")

The D in CRUD

In this example, we execute a delete and a delete where. To delete a single record, just like before...

We get the last id added to the table... (just to demonstrate) and then use that id to delete our record of interest.

B4X: 
smongo.ClearWhere
    smongo.SelectAll
    smongo.MoveLast
    Dim lastID As String = smongo.GetID
    Log(lastID)
    smongo.Delete(lastID)
    Log(smongo.RowCount & " record(s) deleted.")

We can also execute a "DELETE WHERE..."

B4X: 
smongo.ClearWhere
    smongo.AddWhere("age", smongo.EQ_OP, 52)
    smongo.DeleteWhere
    Log(smongo.RowCount & " record(s) deleted.")

And perhaps a "TRUNCATE TABLE ..." to delete all records

B4X: 
smongo.DeleteAll
    Log(smongo.RowCount & " record(s) deleted.")

We can also SELECT WHERE ... ORDER BY .... LIMIT.... OFFSET...

B4X: 
smongo.ClearWhere
    smongo.AddSort("surname", True)
    smongo.SetLimit(5)
    smongo.SetSkip(1)
    smongo.SelectAll
    Log(smongo.RowCount & " record(s) selected!")
    For Each rec As Map In smongo.result
        Log(rec)
    Next

Here we select all records, sorted by surname in descending order, with a limit of 5 and an offset of 1

Of just a basic SELECT WHERE statement

B4X: 
smongo.ClearWhere
    smongo.AddFields(Array("_id", "firstname", "lastname", "age"))
    smongo.AddWhere("age", smongo.EQ_OP, 52)
    smongo.SelectAll
    Log(smongo.RowCount & " record(s) selected!")
    For Each rec As Map In smongo.result
        Log(rec)
    Next

Here we use a projection to only show _id, firstname, lastname and age fields. Only these fields will be shown even if records have more fields.
We select all records where the age is 52

See the attached demo for more details.
