Summary

Added new documentation page for the $strcasecmp operator in Amazon DocumentDB, including description, parameters, MongoDB Shell example, and code examples in Node.js and Python

Security assessment

This change adds documentation for a string comparison operator ($strcasecmp) in Amazon DocumentDB. The content describes the operator's functionality and provides usage examples. There is no evidence of addressing a security vulnerability, weakness, or incident. The code examples include standard connection strings with TLS parameters, but this is routine documentation for database operations rather than security-specific guidance.

+
+# $strcasecmp
+
+The `$strcasecmp` operator in Amazon DocumentDB performs a case-insensitive comparison between two strings. It returns an integer value indicating the lexicographic comparison of the two input strings, ignoring case differences.
+
+**Parameters**
+
+  * `string1`: The first string to compare.
+
+  * `string2`: The second string to compare.
+
+
+
+
+## Example (MongoDB Shell)
+
+This example demonstrates how to use the `$strcasecmp` operator to compare desk location strings in a `people` collection, ignoring case differences.
+
+**Create sample documents**
+    
+    
+    db.people.insertMany([
+      { "_id": 1, "Desk": "mke233-wi" },
+      { "_id": 2, "Desk": "MKE233-WI" },
+      { "_id": 3, "Desk": "mke233-wi" }
+    ]);
+
+**Query example**
+    
+    
+    db.people.aggregate([
+      {
+        $project: {
+          item: 1,
+          compare: { $strcasecmp: ["$Desk", "mke233-wi"] }
+        }
+      }
+    ]);
+
+**Output**
+    
+    
+    { "_id" : 1, "compare" : 0 }
+    { "_id" : 2, "compare" : 0 }
+    { "_id" : 3, "compare" : 0 }
+
+The output shows that the comparison between the `"Desk"` field and the string `"mke233-wi"` returns `0` for all three documents, indicating that the strings are equal when case is ignored.

+    
+    
+    const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');

+      const db = client.db('test');
+      const collection = db.collection('people');
+    
+      const result = await collection.aggregate([
+        {
+          $project: {
+            item: 1,
+            compare: { $strcasecmp: ["$Desk", "mke233-wi"] }
+          }
+        }
+      ]).toArray();
