In MongoDB, there is no built-in RPAD function like in traditional relational databases. However, you can achieve similar functionality using the aggregation framework, specifically the $concat and $substrCP operators. Here's an example of how to pad a string to the right in MongoDB:
Suppose you have a collection employees with documents containing an employee_name field, and you want to pad each employee_name to a length of 15 characters with asterisks (*):
db.employees.aggregate([
{
$addFields: {
padded_name: {
$concat: [
"$employee_name",
{
$substrCP: [
"***************",
0,
{ $subtract: [15, { $strLenCP: "$employee_name" }] }
]
}
]
}
}
}
])
In this aggregation:
- $strLenCP calculates the length of the original employee_name.
- $subtract calculates the number of asterisks (*) needed to pad the string to a total length of 15 characters.
- $substrCP extracts a substring of asterisks (*) based on the calculated padding length.
- $concat concatenates the original employee_name with the generated padding string.
This aggregation will produce a new field padded_name in each document, containing the employee_name padded to a length of 15 characters with asterisks (*).
