Question

I need to find out distinct values(for example : CreationDate or SourceSystem) in MongoDB using MongoVUE. FYI, I can only use the trial version of the same.

Answer 1

I don’t think you can do that using MongoVUE. You can do it through MongoDB shell running a command like this:

db.[Collection Name].distinct({Property Name})
ex: db.students.distinct('age')
db.students.distinct('age').length; // gives you the record count

I usually find SQL to Mongo Mapping Chart page useful in these case ( http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/SQL+to+Mongo+Mapping+Chart )
