293+ Basic and Unique Indexes With Duplicate Key Patterns
294+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
295+
296+ Starting in MongoDB 5.0, basic and unique indexes can exist with the
297+ same :ref:`key pattern <key_patterns>`.
298+
299+ This duplication in key patterns allows for adding a unique index to
300+ already indexed fields.
301+
302+ In this example:
303+
304+ Create a basic index with the key pattern ``{ score : 1 }`` and insert
305+ three documents.
306+
307+ .. code-block:: javascript
308+
309+ db.scoreHistory.createIndex( { score : 1 }, { name: "basic_index" } )
310+ db.scoreHistory.insert( { score : 1 } )
311+ db.scoreHistory.insert( { score : 2 } )
312+ db.scoreHistory.insert( { score : 3 } )
313+
314+ Create a unique index with the same key pattern ``{ score : 1 }``.
315+
316+ .. code-block:: javascript
317+
318+ db.scoreHistory.createIndex( { score : 1 }, { name: "unique_index", unique: true } )
319+
320+ Try to insert a duplicate ``score`` document that fails because of
321+ the unique index.
322+
323+ .. code-block:: javascript
324+
325+ db.scoreHistory.insert( { score : 3 } )
