(This session ocurred in early November)

Installed MongoDB and Compass, set up local instance and imported CSV files of my playlists. CSVs were exported from exportify.

Experimented with “Aggregation Pipelines,” which seem like the closest thing I can find to SQL Server Management Studio Queries, as far as I can tell.

Able to add a field, copy output to new collection. Not a whole lot more.

Next time will try and interface with MongoDB from the app side, that’s really the relevant knowledge anyway. I’ll come back to Compass if I need to, and to at least manually look at data.
