Count distinct in mongodb not giving distinct results












1















a proper sql guy struggling with no-sql:



i am looking for an alternative in mongodb for a query like



select city, count(distinct device) from collection group by city, devicetype



My collection is like



{
"city":"city1",
"device": "device1"
"deviceType":1
},
{
"city":"city1",
"device": "device2"
"deviceType":0
},
{
"city":"city1",
"device": "device3"
"deviceType":1
},
{
"city":"city1",
"device": "device2"
"deviceType":0
}


After grouping, i need distinct devices used by their devicetype of each city



means, the output would be like



{
"city":"city1",
"deviceType":0,
"deviceCount":1 //device2
},
{
"city":"city1",
"deviceType":1,
"deviceCount":2 //device1, device3
}


I tried



"$group": {
_id: { "city": "$city", "devicetype": "$devicetype" },
"devicetype": { "$first": "$devicetype" },
"count": { "$sum": 1 }
}


I am getting the total count of devices, not the distinct count.



please suggest!!

You can use below aggregation



db.collection.aggregate([
{ "$group": {
_id: {
"city": "$city",
"deviceType": "$deviceType"
},
"deviceCount": { "$addToSet": "$device" },
"count": { "$sum": 1 }
}},
{ "$project": {
"_id": 0,
"city": "$_id.city",
"deviceType": "$_id.deviceType",
"deviceCount": { "$size": "$deviceCount" }
}}
])


Output



[
{
"city": "city1",
"deviceCount": 1,
"deviceType": 0
},
{
"city": "city1",
"deviceCount": 2,
"deviceType": 1
}
]
