mongoose returning duplicate results - node.js

Question

Pretty new to mongo and mongoose.
I have
var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
errorHandler = require('./errors'),
ClientSummary = mongoose.model('ClientSummary');
exports.list = function(req, res) { ClientSummary.find().sort('-LastName').exec(function(err, clients) {
if (err) {
return res.status(400).send({
message: errorHandler.getErrorMessage(err)
});
} else {
console.log(clients);
res.jsonp(clients);
}
});
};
this returns double results for each client
I copied this from the console
[ { _id: '_?\u0007Z?WM???3\u0016?\u0017',

Archived: false,
Phone: null,
EmailAddress: 'test#test.com',
LastName: 'test',
FirstName: 'test' },
{ _id: '??\u0002otsF???\u000fF\u0010\u0019\n',

EmailAddress: 'test#test.com',

FirstName: 'test' } ]
I get this from a query
db.clients.find()
{ "_id" : BinData(4,"U/UnaPQyRxqtc1iPJP7Lyw=="), "Contact" : { "FirstName" : "test", "LastName" : "test", "EmailAddress" : "test#test.com", "Phone" : null, "PhoneSecondary" : null }, "Address" : null, "Source" : null, "SourceNotes" : "asdf", "Archived" : false, "ArchivedDate" : ISODate("0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"), "StartDate" : ISODate("0001-01-01T00:00:00Z") }
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

I do not see why you are saying that you have duplicate results in the first query. The _ids are different, so, it looks like there are two different objects.
Further, I also think that the second query that you have refers to a different collection; i.e. clients, while the first query refers to the collection clientsummary.
For example, use the mongo shell, connect to the db *, and try the following two:
> show collections
If I am right, you have both clients and clientsummary as collections in your db. Then, also try
> db.clientsummary.count()
This should return 2.
Note, that it might be the case that you have clientSummary instead of clientsummary as collection in your db, or even clientsummarys/clientSummarys or clientsummaries/clientSummaries as mongo/mongoose will use the plural for the collection and an s is usually attached in the end of the word referring to the collection. Just use the right name.
(*) You can connect to the db mydb (where the collections you are referring to can be found) using the command:
$ mongo --shell localhost/mydb
(Assuming you have mydb on localhost.)
