Q1Domain Verified
In the context of MongoDB indexing, which of the following statements best describes the primary benefit of a compound index over multiple single-field indexes for queries that involve multiple fields?
Compound indexes guarantee a smaller on-disk footprint compared to an equivalent set of single-field indexes.
Compound indexes can satisfy queries that require sorting on fields in a different order than their definition, whereas single-field indexes cannot.
Compound indexes can efficiently serve queries that filter on prefixes of the index key fields, enabling a single index to cover multiple query patterns.
Compound indexes are always faster than using multiple single-field indexes, regardless of the query selectivity.
Q2Domain Verified
Consider a scenario where you have a collection with documents containing a `timestamp` field and a `userId` field. You frequently query for documents within a specific time range for a particular user, e.g., `db.collection.find({ userId: "user123", timestamp: { $gte: ISODate("2023-01-01"), $lt: ISODate("2023-01-31") } })`. Which indexing strategy would be most effective for this query pattern, and why?
A multikey index on `userId` and `timestamp` simultaneously.
A compound index with `userId` as the first field and `timestamp` as the second field, e.g., `{ userId: 1, timestamp: 1 }`.
A compound index with `timestamp` as the first field and `userId` as the second field, e.g., `{ timestamp: 1, userId: 1 }`.
A single-field index on `userId` and a separate single-field index on `timestamp`. MongoDB will use both to optimize the query.
Q3Domain Verified
You are designing indexes for a collection that stores product information. Queries frequently search for products by `category` and then sort the results by `price` in ascending order, e.g., `db.products.find({ category: "electronics" }).sort({ price: 1 })`. Which of the following index definitions would be most optimal?
`{ category: 1, price: 1 }`
`{ category: 1 }`
`{ price: 1 }`
`{ price: 1, category: 1 }`
