#mongodb logs for Wednesday the 2nd of January, 2013
[00:14:54] <nicksloan> I'm wondering how people have stored weekly event data in mongo. I need to store a schedule or weekly, recurring events. like every Tuesday and Thursday at 2pm.
[03:53:55] <Shadow_S> if my database schema is a very large one. let's say "cout" is an attribute of "function" which is an attribute of "language", would finding "cout" be slower than if it was in it's own datastructure?
[04:50:06] <sagarchalise> hi guys, is there a way to copy collections from one db to another within mongodb and keep them synced
[05:26:50] <sagarchalise> hi is there way within mongodb to keep two databases synced with each other
[05:31:13] <dingo2> sagarchalise: if u use mongoexport/import u can't transfer some of the internal bson formatted fields
[05:31:46] <dingo2> sagarchalise: so if u want to do it like that.. u have to not use those type of fields
[05:43:51] <shaz> Hey - I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on using an $elemMatch in a projection on the mongo-ruby-driver; the db['collection'].find() only seems to like ":fields => ['a','b']" as the second var
[09:27:45] <Guest_1448> in mongo, if I do collection.remove({x:y}); collection.insert([...]) - is the insert guaranteed to run after the remove call?
[09:45:36] <Guest_1448> yeah but isn't there a queue on server to make sure the commands issued run in order?
[09:48:51] <kali> and if the insert and remove happens on two different shards, i guess it does not matter in which order they happen
[09:49:30] <pietia> : is it possible to use gridfs documents as as embedded documents (in some other document…) ?
[09:51:08] <pietia> NodeX: ok. what's common approach to this? storing the id in fs.files.metadata or on some other document's side?
[12:09:55] <xcat> I have a property collection like {foo: {'0': { baz: 'bat' } }, {'1': { baz: 'bar' } }, {'2': { another: 'document' } } } How do I find foo documents which have a baz property?
[13:36:53] <oskie> i have io performance issues with mongodb on EC2, and i need to figure out a way to test performance outside the cluster somehow
[13:37:35] <oskie> i looked at mongoperf but it doesn't give much comparable (there's no total "average" or anything like that)
[13:51:07] <irakli> does anyone know why I can't use $where or geospatial operations in $match queries as part of the aggregation pipeline?
[14:57:14] <scoutz> i'm trying to setup replication and was wondering: I setup replication on mongod on my localhost1 and have a replica set on localhost2, for failover to work i should connect to a mongos right?
[15:10:04] <oskie> scoutz: no need for mongos. but you will need a third member (e.g. arbiter) for failover.
[15:52:13] <aline> How can I get for a simple dataset {ID:'A', val: 1 ; ID:'B', val: 2 ; ID:'C', val:1} all ID's that match a single criterion val = 1 ?
[16:10:53] <kali> bean: your proposal looks nice, but will not work for aline's query. usually the NodeX is the way to go: keys in mongodb are keywords, not data
[17:56:18] <zastern> is rs.conf() meant to list the priority of each member of a replica set? I've tried changing priority as per this documentation - http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/administration/replica-sets/#replica-set-node-priority - but I can't find any way to check if it worked.

[19:25:16] <MacWinner> Hi, I'm trying to make a decision about using MongoDB.. Is it a good usecase for using it as a User store? I'm coming from a MySQL background.. i'm an old dog tyring to learn new tricks
[19:27:57] <MacWinner> accounts.. basically a have a simple facebook app.. just wanted to store my users and some friends relations
[19:30:19] <MacWinner> I can use it for storing comments and events for the users.. but that actually user store and relations between users, I'll leave in mysql
[19:30:31] <kali> MacWinner: i use it as a general purpose DB, replacing SQL, but i have to deal by hand with the few scenario where i need multi-docs "transactions"
[19:59:00] <Thomas___> I'm having some problems with a normal $push. I've done $push-es before but this one is acting up, perhaps I'm forgetting something. db.orders.update( { id: "153641332" }, { $push: { "meta": "cat" } } );
[22:46:08] <lordblackfox> i have begun to play with mongodb in c++; I was wondering why you're not using standard containers and having so much classes to work with binary tree of objects
[22:47:17] <lordblackfox> I have made something like that some times ago, for a JSON parser; I had something a lot simplest

[23:25:08] <leitz> Anyone familar with the 10Gen mongodb server package init script? I tried to start mongod after a clean install and the script doesn't return to the command line.
[23:28:21] <w5pm> hey guys, i need to write a server to handle payments? is mongodb a good choice for tracking user purchases or should I go with a more traditional sql solution?
