Similar mySql Query of the above command.

SELECT * FROM students WHERE firstName = "Prosen" AND age = 23 OR age = 25;

IN Queries This queries can improve multiple use of OR Queries

db.students.find(lastName:{$in:["Ghosh", "Amin"]})

{ "_id" : ObjectId("58f29a694117d1b7af126dca"), "studentNo" : 1, "firstName" : "Prosen", "lastName" : "Ghosh", "age" : 25 }
