pymongo: Get result count












0















Goal: Search DB and get results and count of results.
In previous versions there was .count()



find_results = mycol.find({"source": "sensor"})
count_results = find_results.count()


Now, count() has been deprecated and instead there is "collection.count_documents"



Does that mean that to get results and qty of results I need to do two queries?



count_results = mycol.count_documents({"source": "sensor"})
find_results = mycol.find({"source": "sensor"})

  • Well yes and no. It's deprecated for the very good reason that there are reliability issues, and mostly in order to support transactions. So YES you "should" be using a separate call in order to obtain your count. However NO, you don't actually need to IF you instead have an acceptable result size which could be converted to an Array/List first. Then you can just size the Array/List. For "paging" counts see Get a count of total documents with MongoDB when using limit
