Pymongo: iterate over all documents in the collection

Question

I am using PyMongo and trying to iterate over (10 millions) documents in my MongoDB collection and just extract a couple of keys: \"name\" and \"address\", then output them to .

Answer 1

The find() methods returns a PyMongo cursor, which is a reference to the result set of a query.

You have to de-reference, somehow, the reference(address).

After that, you will get a better understanding how to manipulate/manage the cursor.

Try the following for a start:

result = db.*collection_name*.find()
print(list(result))
