Simulate slow query in mongodb?

Question

Does MongoDb have anything like MySql\'s SELECT SLEEP(5); ?

I can see some internal sleep function that would pause the whole server, but I need to pause ju

Answer 1

From the mongo shell you can do sleep( ms ), eg sleep for 5 seconds before running a query:

> sleep(5000); db.collection.find(..);

This doesn't pause the current query, but does pause execution on that connection for the specific number of milliseconds before continuing with the next statement (which is equivalent to a select sleep(5) in MySQL).
