I`m trying to query mongodb for documents where "date" is betwen two dates. Sample data is:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("4fad0af6709fbc1d481c3e05"),
"ID" : NumberLong("200930746205085696"),
"text" : "Forgot my charger...:(",
"date" : ISODate("2012-06-14T10:49:57Z"),
"sentiment" : "NEG"
}
My Java code is:
DBCursor cursor = null;
DB db = connect();
Date startDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - (long)(numOfTimePeriods+1)*time);
Date endDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - (long)numOfTimePeriods*time);
DBObject query = new BasicDBObject();
query.put("date", new BasicDBObject("$gt", startDate).append("$lte", endDate));
cursor = db.getCollection("status").find(query);
but the cursor object has no results.
Query object looks like this:
{ "date" : { "$gt" : { "$date" : "2012-05-15T00:16:15.184Z"} , "$lte" : { "$date" : "2012-06-14T10:16:15.184Z"}}}
I suspect the problem is the date representation in DB. Any suggestions on this?
