Find

Sort

Returning the first documents

pp.pprint(db.world.find_one())
pp.pprint(db.world.find()[0])
pp.pprint(list(db.world.find().limit(1))[0])
pp.pprint(list(db.world.aggregate([{"$limit":1}]))[0])

Returning the nth document

n = 50;
pp.pprint(db.world.find()[n-1])
pp.pprint(list(db.world.find().skip(n-1).limit(1))[0])
pp.pprint(list(db.world.aggregate([{"$skip":n-1},{"$limit":1}]))[0])

Returning the last document

n = 50;
pp.pprint(db.world.find()[db.world.count()-1])
pp.pprint(list(db.world.find().skip(db.world.count()-2).limit(1))[0])
pp.pprint(list(db.world.aggregate([{"$skip":db.world.count()-2},{"$limit":1}]))[0])
