$gte

Definition

$gte

$gte selects the documents where the value of the specified field is greater than or equal to (i.e. >=) a specified value (e.g. value.)

For most data types, comparison operators only perform comparisons on fields where the BSON type matches the query value's type. MongoDB supports limited cross-BSON comparison through Type Bracketing.

Compatibility

You can use $gte for deployments hosted in the following environments:

• MongoDB Atlas: The fully managed service for MongoDB deployments in the cloud

• MongoDB Enterprise: The subscription-based, self-managed version of MongoDB

• MongoDB Community: The source-available, free-to-use, and self-managed version of MongoDB

Syntax

The $gte operator has the following form:

{ field: { $gte: value } }

Examples

The following examples use the inventory collection. Create the collection:

db.inventory.insertMany( [
   {
      item: "nuts", quantity: 30,
      carrier: { name: "Shipit", fee: 3 }
   },
   {
      item: "bolts", quantity: 50,
      carrier: { name: "Shipit", fee: 4 }
   },
   {
      item: "washers", quantity: 10,
      carrier: { name: "Shipit", fee: 1 }
   }
] )

db.inventory.find( { quantity: { $gte: 20 } } )

 {
   _id: ObjectId("61bb51211b83c864e3bbe037"),
   item: 'nuts',
   quantity: 30,
   carrier: { name: 'Shipit', fee: 3 }
 },
 {
   _id: ObjectId("61bb51211b83c864e3bbe038"),
   item: 'bolts',
   quantity: 50,
   carrier: { name: 'Shipit', fee: 4 }
}

db.inventory.updateMany(
   { "carrier.fee": { $gte: 2 } }, { $set: { "price": 9.99 } }
)

{
  _id: ObjectId("61bb51211b83c864e3bbe037"),
  item: 'nuts',
  quantity: 30,
  carrier: { name: 'Shipit', fee: 3 },
  price: 9.99
},
{
  _id: ObjectId("61bb51211b83c864e3bbe038"),
  item: 'bolts',
  quantity: 50,
  carrier: { name: 'Shipit', fee: 4 },
  price: 9.99
}
