Get the Short Day Name in SQL Server (T-SQL)
In SQL Server, you can use the FORMAT() function to return the short day name from a date. FORMAT() is a T-SQL function that enables you to format dates and numbers to a specified format.
This function returns its result as a string. Specifically, it returns it as either a nvarchar or null as the case may be.

MongoDB, the $strLenCP aggregation pipeline operator returns the number of UTF-8 code points in the specified string.
The $strLenCP operator is different to the $strLenBytes operator, which returns the number of bytes in the string.
MongoDB $strLenBytes
MongoDB, the $strLenBytes aggregation pipeline operator returns the number of UTF-8 encoded bytes in the specified string.
Each character in a string can contain contain a different number of bytes, depending on the character being used. The $strLenBytes operator can figure out how many bytes each character contains and return the correct result for the whole string.
MongoDB $stdDevPop
In MongoDB, the $stdDevPop aggregation pipeline operator calculates the population standard deviation of its input values.
The input values can be from a group of documents (i.e. documents that are grouped by the same key), or they can be multiple fields within a single document.
Continue readingMongoDB $stdDevSamp
In MongoDB, the $stdDevSamp aggregation pipeline operator calculates the sample standard deviation of the input values.
The input values can be from a group of documents (i.e. documents that are grouped by the same key), or they can be multiple fields within a single document.

In MongoDB, the $strcasecmp aggregation pipeline operator performs a case-insensitive comparison of two strings.
It returns either 1, 0, or -1, depending on whether or not the first string is greater than, equal to, or less than the second string.
How to Delete MongoDB Documents by Importing a File
As of mongoimport version 100.0.0, you can delete documents in MongoDB based on an imported file. To do this, use delete mode.
When you use delete mode, if an imported document has the same _id value as an existing one in the collection that you’re importing into, the existing document will be deleted.
You can also specify another field or fields (other than the _id field) to be the matching field if required.
MongoDB $split
In MongoDB, the $split aggregation pipeline operator divides a string into an array of substrings based on a delimiter.
The delimiter is removed from the string, and the substrings are added as elements to the array.
To use $split, you specify the string and the delimiter.
If the delimiter isn’t found in the string, the original string is returned as the only item in the array.
Continue readingMongoDB $slice
In MongoDB, the $slice aggregation pipeline operator returns a subset of an array.
To use $slice, you specify the number of elements to return from the array. You can also specify a starting position for which to take the subset from the array.
