mongodb limit and skip method
In MongoDB, you can use the limit()
and skip()
methods to control the number of documents returned in a query result.
The limit()
method is used to limit the number of documents returned in the query result. For example, to limit the result to the first 10 documents in a collection named "mycollection", you can use the following query:
db.mycollection.find().limit(10)
The skip()
method is used to skip a certain number of documents in the query result. For example, to skip the first 5 documents and return the next 10 documents in a collection named "mycollection", you can use the following query:
db.mycollection.find().skip(5).limit(10)
In this example, the skip(5)
method is used to skip the first 5 documents, and the limit(10)
method is used to limit the result to the next 10 documents.
Note that the skip()
and limit()
methods can be used together to skip a certain number of documents and limit the result to a certain number of documents. For example, to skip the first 5 documents and return the next 10 documents in a collection named "mycollection", you can use the following query:
db.mycollection.find().skip(5).limit(10)
