What does CRUD stand for in database operations?
CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete — the four basic operations performed on stored data.
| Operation | Action |
|---|---|
| Create | Insert new documents |
| Read | Retrieve/query documents |
| Update | Modify existing documents |
| Delete | Remove documents |
These operations map to MongoDB methods: insertOne, find, updateMany, deleteMany.
