To avoid changes to field data type in MongoDB, you can follow these best practices:

  1. Define and enforce schemas: Define a strict schema for your collections and enforce it using validation rules. This will ensure that only data of the specified data types is inserted into the database.
  2. Use data validation: MongoDB provides the ability to validate data before inserting or updating it in the database. You can use validation rules to ensure that the data being inserted is of the correct data type.
  3. Use strict data typing: Always specify the data type of fields when creating documents and ensure that the data being inserted matches the specified data type.
  4. Use data type conversion functions: If you need to convert data between different types, use data type conversion functions provided by MongoDB to ensure that the converted data is of the correct type.
  5. Monitor and audit changes: Monitor changes to the database and audit any changes to field data types. This will help you identify and rectify any unauthorized changes to field data types.
  6. Regularly review and update schemas: Regularly review your schemas to ensure that they are up to date and reflect the current data requirements. Update schemas as needed to accommodate any changes to field data types.
