rmongodb: using $or in query

Question

I\'m struggling to create a query using $or within R and rmongodb. What I\'d like to emulate is this from cmdline mongo:

db.people.find( { $or : [ {\"person         


        

Answer 1

I found this query easier to wrangle in RMongo:

mongo <- mongoDbConnect(dbName="work", host="localhost",port='27017')
result <- dbGetQuery(mongo, "people","
    { '$or': [
        {'person.cell':{'$exists':true}},
        {'person.home':{'$exists':true}}
    ]}"
)

Result will be a data.frame.
