Service: documentdb · 2026-03-28 · Documentation low

File: documentdb/latest/developerguide/inc.md

Summary

Entire documentation page for the $inc operator was removed, including examples, parameters, and code samples for MongoDB Shell, Node.js, and Python.

Security assessment

This change removes general documentation about the $inc operator (increment operator) which is a standard MongoDB/Amazon DocumentDB feature. There is no evidence in the diff suggesting this removal addresses a security vulnerability, weakness, or incident. The removed content appears to be routine documentation about database functionality without any security context mentioned.

-# $inc
-
-The `$inc` operator is used to increment the value of a field by a specified amount. It is used to update a numeric field, such as a counter or a rating, without having to retrieve the current value, calculate the new value, and then update the field.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `field`: The name of the field to increment.
-
-  * `amount`: The amount by which to increment the field. This can be a positive or negative value.

-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-The following example demonstrates how to use the `$inc` operator to increment the `age` field of a document.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.users.insertOne({_id: 123, name: "John Doe", age: 30})
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.users.updateOne({_id: 123}, {$inc: {age: 1}})
-
-**View updated document**
-    
-    
-    db.users.findOne({_id: 123})
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    { "_id" : 123, "name" : "John Doe", "age" : 31 }

-      const db = client.db('test');
-      const collection = db.collection('users');
-    
-      const result = await collection.updateOne(
-        { _id: 123 },
-        { $inc: { age: 1 } }
-      );
-    
-      console.log(result);
-

-        db = client['test']
-        collection = db['users']
-    
-        result = collection.update_one(
