What is the difference between these two MongoDB queries?
问题 Objective Find out possible differences in the following MongoDB queries and understand why one of them works and the other doesn't. Background A while ago I posted a questions asking for help regarding a MongoDB query: Using $push with $group with pymongo In that question my query didn't work, and I was looking for a way to fix it. I had a ton of help in the comments, and eventually found out the solution, but no one seems to be able to explain me why my first incorrect query doesn't work,
