How do I search for an object by its ObjectId in the mongo console?

Question

I\'ve found this question answered for C# and Perl, but not in the native interface. I thought this would work:

db.theColl.find( { _id: ObjectId(\"4ecbe7f9e8c

Answer 1

You Have missed to insert Double Quotes. The Exact Query is

db.theColl.find( { "_id": ObjectId("4ecbe7f9e8c1c9092c000027") } )
