We have learned\u00a0how to insert and query a document in a collection in MongoDB<\/strong>. In this MongoDB\u00a0Tutorial, we are going to see what is MongoDB limit and how to limit record in MongoDB.<\/p>\n

Moreover, we will discuss MongoDB Skip() Method with an example. At last, we discuss some MongoDB Limit examples.<\/p>\n

So, let’s start with MongoDB Limit Records.<\/p>\n

MongoDB Limit Records<\/h2>\n

When we query a collection, it shows all the documents contained in it. The limit cursor is used for retrieving only numbers of documents that we need. We can use MongoDB<\/strong> limit() method to specify the number of documents we want it to return.<\/p>\n

When we query a document using the db.collection_name.find() method, we can append this method to specify the limit.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s understand this with an example.<\/p>\n

First, run a query without specifying the limit.<\/p>\n

\"MongoDB<\/a>

How to Limit\u00a0MongoDB Records<\/p><\/div>\n

We see that it shows all the documents it has. There are total 6 documents in the result. Now, let\u2019s run a query for the same collection after specifying the limit in MongoDB.<\/p>\n

\"MongoDB<\/a>

How to Limit\u00a0MongoDB Records<\/p><\/div>\n

We see that it shows only 4 documents as the limit specified.<\/p>\n

MongoDB Skip() Method<\/h2>\n

When we use the MongoDB limit() method, it shows from the beginning of the collection to the specified limit. If we want it to start not from the beginning and skipping some documents, we can use the Skip() method for this task.<\/p>\n

To do this, we need to add the skip() in the cursor and specify the number of documents that we want to skip.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s query the same collection after adding MongoDb skip().<\/p>\n

\"MongoDB<\/a>

MongoDB Skip() Method<\/p><\/div>\n

We see that the first document has been skipped from the collection.<\/p>\n

We can use MongoDB skip() method without the limit specified. It can be used with any query run.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s run a query for the same collection we have discussed above.<\/p>\n

\"MongoDB<\/a>

MongoDB Skip() Method<\/p><\/div>\n

This shows that MongoDB skip can be used with any query without using MongoDB limit.<\/p>\n

So, this was all\u00a0about MongoDB Limit Tutorial. Hope you like our explanation<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Hence, we saw that how limiting helps us to see the documents easy. MongoDB Limit is a very useful function. We can use MongoDB limit when the number of documents is so many. This will help us to search the specific documents easily.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, we discuss MongoDB Skip Method. In the fore coming articles, we will discuss indexing and advanced indexing and it\u2019s limitation.\u00a0Furthermore, if you have any query, feel free to ask in a comment section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
