I came across this -
MongoDB atomic "findOrCreate": findOne, insert if nonexistent, but do not update
What I want is -
- If document is Absent, I insert one and return SUCCESS
- If document is Present, return FAILURE
Can I achieve this?

3If you insert on a unique key such as _id then it will have this behaviour by default – Sammaye Oct 22 '13 at 08:24

Yea..I am doing something similar.. I am doing insert on a unique field to achieve this.. – abipc Oct 22 '13 at 10:36

as @Sammaye stated above, [`insert()`](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.collection.insert/#db.collection.insert) does *exactly* that. Have you had any problems with `insert()`? – Cristian Lupascu Oct 22 '13 at 11:40

Sammaye solved my problem.. I am using what he suggested but I had figured the same out myself as well.. – abipc Oct 22 '13 at 14:11
