I have created small mongodb database, I wanted to create username column as unique. So I used createIndex()
command to create index for that column with UNIQUE property.
I tried creating unique index using below command in Mongosh.
db.users.createIndex({'username':'text'},{unqiue:true,dropDups: true})
For checking current index, I used getIndex()
command. below is the output for that.
newdb> db.users.getIndexes()
[
{ v: 2, key: { _id: 1 }, name: '_id_' },
{
v: 2,
key: { _fts: 'text', _ftsx: 1 },
name: 'username_text',
weights: { username: 1 },
default_language: 'english',
language_override: 'language',
textIndexVersion: 3
}
]
Now Index is created, so for confirmation I checked same in MongoDB Compass.But I am not able to see UNIQUE property got assign to my newly created index. Please refer below screenshot.

I tried deleting old index, as it was not showing UNIQUE property and Created again using MongoDB Compass GUI, and now I can see UNIQUE Property assign to index.

And below is output for getIndex()
command in Mongosh.
newdb> db.users.getIndexes()
[
{ v: 2, key: { _id: 1 }, name: '_id_' },
{
v: 2,
key: { _fts: 'text', _ftsx: 1 },
name: 'username_text',
unique: true,
sparse: false,
weights: { username: 1 },
default_language: 'english',
language_override: 'language',
textIndexVersion: 3
}
]
I tried searching similar topics, but didn't found anything related. Is there anything I am missing or doing wrong here?
CodePudding user response:
Misspelled the property unique
as unqiue
, which leads to this issue.
I tried again with the correct spelling, and it is working now.
Sorry for a dumb question
