$max

$max

The $max operator updates the value of the field to a specified value if the specified value is greater than the current value of the field. If the field does not exists, the $max operator sets the field to the specified value. The $max operator can compare values of different types, using the BSON comparison order.

Examples

Use $max to Compare Numbers

Consider the following document in the collection scores:

{ _id: 1, highScore: 800, lowScore: 200 }

The highScore for the document currently has the value 800. The following operation uses $max to compare the 800 and the specified value 950 and updates the value of highScore to 950 since 950 is greater than 800:

db.scores.update( { _id: 1 }, { $max: { highScore: 950 } } )

The scores collection now contains the following modified document:

{ _id: 1, highScore: 950, lowScore: 200 }

The next operation has no effect since the current value of the field highScore, i.e. 950, is greater than 870:

db.scores.update( { _id: 1 }, { $max: { highScore: 870 } } )

The document remains unchanged in the scores collection:

{ _id: 1, highScore: 950, lowScore: 200 }

Use $max to Compare Dates

Consider the following document in the collection tags:

{
  _id: 1,
  desc: "crafts",
  dateEntered: ISODate("2013-10-01T05:00:00Z"),
  dateExpired: ISODate("2013-10-01T16:38:16.163Z")
}

The following operation compares the current value of the dateExpired field, i.e. ISODate("2013-10-01T16:38:16.163Z"), with the specified date new Date("2013-09-30") to determine whether to update the field:

db.tags.update( { _id: 1 },
                {
                  $max: {
                          dateExpired: new Date("2013-09-30"),
                        }
                 }
              )

The operation does not update the dateExpired field:

{
   _id: 1,
   desc: "decorative arts",
   dateEntered: ISODate("2013-10-01T05:00:00Z"),
   dateExpired: ISODate("2013-10-01T16:38:16.163Z")
}
