AWS documentdb documentation change

Service: documentdb · 2026-03-31 · Documentation low

File: documentdb/latest/developerguide/and.md

Summary

Added new documentation page for the $and operator in Amazon DocumentDB, including syntax, parameters, MongoDB shell examples, and code examples in Node.js and Python

Security assessment

This is routine documentation addition for a query operator ($and) with standard usage examples. The code examples include TLS connection parameters (tls=true, tlsCAFile=global-bundle.pem) which are standard security practices for DocumentDB connections, but this is not new security documentation - it's just showing typical connection strings. No evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability or incident.

+
+# $and
+
+The `$and` operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to combine multiple expressions and evaluate them as a single condition. It returns `true` if all the provided expressions evaluate to `true`, and `false` otherwise. This operator is useful for applying multiple criteria to a query.
+
+**Parameters**
+
+  * `expression1`: A required expression that evaluates to a boolean value.
+
+  * `expression2`: A required expression that evaluates to a boolean value.
+
+  * `...`: Additional required expressions that evaluate to boolean values.
+
+
+
+
+## Example (MongoDB Shell)
+
+The following example demonstrates the use of the `$and` operator to find all documents in the "users" collection where the "age" field is greater than 18 and the "status" field is "active".
+
+**Create sample documents**
+    
+    
+    db.users.insertMany([
+      { name: "John", age: 25, status: "active" },
+      { name: "Jane", age: 17, status: "active" },
+      { name: "Bob", age: 30, status: "inactive" },
+      { name: "Alice", age: 22, status: "active" }
+    ]);
+
+**Query example**
+    
+    
+    db.users.find({
+      $and: [
+        { age: { $gt: 18 } },
+        { status: "active" }
+      ]
+    });
+
+**Output**
+    
+    
+    [
+      { "_id" : ObjectId("614e3c4b63f5892e7c4e2345"), "name" : "John", "age" : 25, "status" : "active" },
+      { "_id" : ObjectId("614e3c4b63f5892e7c4e2347"), "name" : "Alice", "age" : 22, "status" : "active" }
+    ]

+
+Node.js
+    
+    
+    
+    const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
+    
+    async function findActiveUsersOlderThan18() {

+      const db = client.db('test');
+      const users = db.collection('users');
+    
+      const activeUsersOlderThan18 = await users.find({
+        $and: [
+          { age: { $gt: 18 } },
+          { status: 'active' }
+        ]
+      }).toArray();
+    
+      console.log(activeUsersOlderThan18);
+      await client.close();
+    }
+    
+    findActiveUsersOlderThan18();
+
+Python
