MongoDB Get started

MongoDB Create Database


Overview MongoDB Create Collection

MongoDB Insert
MongoDB Get Started
 MongoDB stores data in JSON-like documents,
which makes the database very flexible and
scalable.
 Can download a free MongoDB database at
https://www.mongodb.com.
 Python needs a MongoDB driver to access the
MongoDB database.
 C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Programs\
Python\Python36-32\Scripts>python -m pip install
pymongo
MongoDB  MongoDB will create the database if it does
not exist, and make a connection to it.

Create
 import pymongo
myclient =
pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/"

Database )
mydb = myclient["mydatabase"]
 Can check if a database exist by listing
all databases in you system.
Create  print(myclient.list_database_names())

Database  Can check a specific database by name


 dblist = myclient.list_database_names()

Continues if "mydatabase" in dblist:


print("The database exists.")
MongoDB Create Collection
 A collection in MongoDB is the same as
a table in SQL databases.
 To create a collection in MongoDB, use database
object and specify the name of the collection you
want to create.
 import pymongo
myclient =
pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:2701
7/")
mydb = myclient["mydatabase"]
mycol = mydb["customers"]
Create Collection Continues
 Can check if a collection exist in a database by
listing all collections
 print(mydb.list_collection_names())
 Can check a specific collection by name.
 collist = mydb.list_collection_names()
if "customers" in collist:
print("The collection exists.")
MongoDB Insert
 To Insert a record or document into a
collection,the insert_one() method is used.
 The first parameter of the insert_one()
method is a dictionary containing the name
and value of each field in the document.
 import pymongo
myclient =
pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/"
)
mydb = myclient["mydatabase"]
mycol = mydb["customers"]
mydict = { "name": "John", "address": "Highway
37" }
x = mycol.insert_one(mydict)
 The inserted_id holds the id of the inserted
document.
 print(x.inserted_id)
 To Insert multiple documents into collection use
the insert_many() method.
 import pymongo
myclient =
pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")
mydb = myclient["mydatabase"]

Insert mycol = mydb["customers"]


mylist = [
{ "name": "Amy", "address": "Apple st 652"},

Continues { "name": "Hannah", "address": "Mountain 21"},


{ "name": "Michael", "address": "Valley 345"},
{ "name": "Sandy", "address": "Ocean blvd 2"},
{ "name": "Betty", "address": "Green Grass 1"},
{ "name": "William", "address": "Central st 954"},
{ "name": "Chuck", "address": "Main Road 989"},
{ "name": "Viola", "address": "Sideway 1633"}]
x = mycol.insert_many(mylist)
#print list of the _id values of the inserted documents:
print(x.inserted_ids)
