In MongoDB, cursors are returned by queries and allow you to iterate over the results of a query. To get the length of a cursor in Python, you can use the count()
method of the cursor object.
Here is an example of how to get the length of a cursor in Python using the PyMongo library:
from pymongo import MongoClient # connect to MongoDB client = MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017/') # select database and collection db = client['mydatabase'] collection = db['mycollection'] # perform a query and get a cursor cursor = collection.find({'some_field': 'some_value'}) # get the length of the cursor using the count() method cursor_length = cursor.count() # print the length of the cursor print(cursor_length)
In the above example, we first connect to a MongoDB server and select a database and collection. We then perform a query and get a cursor by calling the find()
method on the collection object. Finally, we use the count()
method to get the length of the cursor and print it to the console. Note that the count()
method is deprecated in MongoDB 4.4 and higher. In those versions, you should use the count_documents()
method instead.
