Inserting New Child Objects into Parent Records in MongoDB using C-

When working with MongoDB and C-, you may encounter various challenges. One common scenario is adding new child records to an existing parent document. In this post, we will explore how to effectively insert new child objects into parent records using the MongoDB C- driver and avoid common pitfalls.

The Problem: Inserting a New Child Object

Imagine you have a MongoDB collection that stores parent records, each containing a list of child objects. You attempt to insert a new child into a parent document but encounter an error. Here’s the scenario you might face:

You have a parent document structured like this:

Unfortunately, instead of successfully adding the new child, you encounter the following error:

This error arises because the AddToSet method is expecting a single Child object instead of a collection.

The Solution: Using AddToSetEach

To resolve this issue, you will need to utilize the AddToSetEach method instead of AddToSet. The AddToSetEach method allows you to add multiple items to the array field without causing casting exceptions. Here’s how you can alter your code:

Step-by-Step Guide

Define the Parent and Child Classes: Ensure you have your parent and child classes defined accurately.

Why Use AddToSetEach?

Preventing Duplicates: The AddToSet method ensures that there are no duplicate entries in the array field. Utilizing AddToSetEach allows you to add multiple unique child objects at once while still preserving this feature.

Handles Collections: It simplifies the process of adding a collection without needing to cast types, which avoids type mismatch errors.

Conclusion

By adopting the AddToSetEach method, you can seamlessly add new child objects to parent records in your MongoDB database while avoiding casting errors. This approach is efficient, straightforward, and maintains the integrity of your data model.
