Working with the world collection of countries

This tutorial introduces NoSQL using MonogDB and PyMongo under Python3.4. We will be using the find() command and comparison functions on the collection world which contains details of around 250 countries of the world:

FIND examples are available.

Use find() to show the details of Germany

Show the 21st document in world

db.world.find({name:'France'})

db.world.find({name:'Germany'})

List all the countries in the continent of Asia

db.world.find({},{"capital":1, "_id":0})

db.world.find({"continent":"Asia"}, {"_id":0, "name":1})

List the countries in Europe that start with the letter "S"


 db.world.find({"name":{'$regex':"^S"},
                "continent":"Europe"},{"name":1, "_id":0})

Find the capital cities for countries with a population of over 70 million


pp.pprint(list(db.world.find({"population":{"$gt":70000000}},{"capital":1,"_id":0})))

Find the countries that have a population of over 100 million or less than a million


pp.pprint(list(db.world.find({"$or":[{"population":{"$lt":1000000}},{"population":{"$gt":100000000}}]}, {"name":1, "_id":0})))

Find the names of countries beginning with "U" that are outside of Europe and North America


pp.pprint(list(db.world.find({"$and":[{"name":{'$regex':"^U"}},{"continent":{"$nin":["Europe", "North America"]}}]},{"name":1,"_id":0})))

Find the names of all countries that contain a white space


pp.pprint(list(db.world.find({"name":{"$regex":"^.*\s.*$"}},{"name":1,"_id":0})))

Which country out of China, Russia, and the United States has the largest population.

You might want to use Sort and limit to get the answer.


pp.pprint(list(db.world.find({"name":{"$in":["China", "Russia", "United States"]}}).sort("population",-1).limit(1)))

Use Sort to find the last document in world

Show the last document of world


pp.pprint(list(db.world.find().sort("$natural", -1))[0])

Show capital and population for the top 5 capital cities starting with the letter "M" that have a population of less than 3 million


pp.pprint(list(db.world.find({"$and":[{"capital":{"$regex":"^M"}},{"population":{"$lt":3000000}}]}, {"_id":0, "capital":1, "population":1}).sort("population",-1).limit(5)))

Show all the capitals for countries that start with the same letter as their continent

 find({"$where": " boolean expression "})

pp.pprint(list(

   db.world.find(
     {"$where":"this.name[0]==this.continent[0]"}, 
     {"_id":0, "capital":1})

))
