    MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database designed to store and manage data flexibly and at scale. Unlike traditional relational databases that use tables and rows, MongoDB stores data as JSON-like documents using a format called BSON (Binary JSON). This document-oriented model makes it easy to handle complex and varied data structures.

    Advantages of MongoDB

    • High performance for fast data operations.
    • Easy scalability to handle growing data and users.
    • High availability through replication and failover.
    • Cross-platform support for wide adoption.

    Introduction

    Below are the foundational topics that introduce MongoDB, its architecture and how Python interacts with it.

    • MongoDB Introduction
    • MongoDB and Python
    • Guide to Install MongoDB with Python | Windows

    Getting Started

    The following linked topics explain how MongoDB’s document model works and how to begin managing databases and cursors using PyMongo.

    • How do Document Databases Work

    • Delete Data and Drop Collection
    • Delete_one Query
    • Delete_many Query
    • Find Query
    • find_one Query
    • find_one_and_update Query
    • find_one_and_delete query
    • find_one_and_replace Query
    • Sort Query
    • distinct Query
    • rename Query
    • bulk_write Query
    • $group (aggregation) Operation
    • Limit Query
    • Nested Queries in PyMongo

    Working with Collections and documents in MongoDB

    The following tutorials demonstrate how to create, retrieve, modify, and delete collections and documents using Python.

    • How to access a collection in MongoDB using Python
    • Get the Names of all Collections using PyMongo
    • Drop Collection if already exists in MongoDB using Python

    • Get all the Documents of the Collection using PyMongo
    • Count the number of Documents in MongoDB using Python
    • Update all Documents in a Collection using PyMongo
    • Aggregation in MongoDB using Python

    Indexing in MongoDB

    This section provides linked guides on creating, managing, and removing indexes in MongoDB collections using PyMongo.

    • Indexing in MongoDB using Python
