$second

The $second operator in Amazon DocumentDB extracts the seconds component from a date or timestamp. It is used to retrieve the seconds value from a date or timestamp field.

Parameters

Example (MongoDB Shell)

The following example demonstrates how to use the $second operator to extract the seconds component from a date field.

Create sample documents

db.users.insertMany([
  { name: "John", dob: new Date("1990-05-15T12:30:45Z") },
  { name: "Jane", dob: new Date("1985-09-20T23:59:59Z") },
  { name: "Bob", dob: new Date("2000-01-01T00:00:00Z") }
]);

Query example

db.users.aggregate([{ $project: { name: 1, dobSeconds: { $second: "$dob" } } }])

Output

[
  { "_id" : ObjectId("6089a9c306a829d1f8b456a1"), "name" : "John", "dobSeconds" : 45 },
  { "_id" : ObjectId("6089a9c306a829d1f8b456a2"), "name" : "Jane", "dobSeconds" : 59 },
  { "_id" : ObjectId("6089a9c306a829d1f8b456a3"), "name" : "Bob", "dobSeconds" : 0 }
]
