aggregate(pipeline, **kwargs)

Execute an aggregation pipeline on this database.

Introduced in MongoDB 3.6.

The aggregation can be run on a secondary if the client is connected to a replica set and its read_preference is not PRIMARY. The aggregate() method obeys the read_preference of this MotorDatabase, except when $out or $merge are used, in which case PRIMARY is used.

All optional aggregate command parameters should be passed as keyword arguments to this method. Valid options include, but are not limited to:

  • allowDiskUse (bool): Enables writing to temporary files. When set to True, aggregation stages can write data to the _tmp subdirectory of the –dbpath directory. The default is False.

  • maxTimeMS (int): The maximum amount of time to allow the operation to run in milliseconds.

  • batchSize (int): The maximum number of documents to return per batch. Ignored if the connected mongod or mongos does not support returning aggregate results using a cursor.

  • collation (optional): An instance of Collation.

Returns a MotorCommandCursor that can be iterated like a cursor from find():

async def f():
    # Lists all operations currently running on the server.
    pipeline = [{"$currentOp": {}}]
    async for operation in client.admin.aggregate(pipeline):
        print(operation)

Note

This method does not support the ‘explain’ option. Please use MotorDatabase.command() instead.

Note

The MotorDatabase.write_concern of this database is automatically applied to this operation.

New in version 2.1.

property client

This MotorDatabase’s MotorClient.

property codec_options

Read only access to the CodecOptions of this instance.

command(command, value=1, check=True, allowable_errors=None, read_preference=None, codec_options=CodecOptions(document_class=dict, tz_aware=False, uuid_representation=UuidRepresentation.PYTHON_LEGACY, unicode_decode_error_handler='strict', tzinfo=None, type_registry=TypeRegistry(type_codecs=[], fallback_encoder=None)), session=None, **kwargs)

Issue a MongoDB command.

Send command command to the database and return the response. If command is a string then the command {command: value} will be sent. Otherwise, command must be a dict and will be sent as-is.

Additional keyword arguments are added to the final command document before it is sent.

For example, a command like {buildinfo: 1} can be sent using:

result = await db.command("buildinfo")

For a command where the value matters, like {collstats: collection_name} we can do:

result = await db.command("collstats", collection_name)

For commands that take additional arguments we can use kwargs. So {filemd5: object_id, root: file_root} becomes:

result = await db.command("filemd5", object_id, root=file_root)
Parameters
  • command: document representing the command to be issued, or the name of the command (for simple commands only).

    Note

    the order of keys in the command document is significant (the “verb” must come first), so commands which require multiple keys (e.g. findandmodify) should use an instance of SON or a string and kwargs instead of a Python dict.

  • value (optional): value to use for the command verb when command is passed as a string

  • check (optional): check the response for errors, raising OperationFailure if there are any

  • allowable_errors: if check is True, error messages in this list will be ignored by error-checking

  • read_preference: The read preference for this operation. See read_preferences for options.

  • session (optional): a ClientSession, created with start_session().

  • **kwargs (optional): additional keyword arguments will be added to the command document before it is sent

Changed in version 1.2: Added session parameter.

async create_collection(name, codec_options=None, read_preference=None, write_concern=None, read_concern=None, session=None, **kwargs)

Create a new Collection in this database.

Normally collection creation is automatic. This method should only be used to specify options on creation. CollectionInvalid will be raised if the collection already exists.

Options should be passed as keyword arguments to this method. Supported options vary with MongoDB release. Some examples include:

  • “size”: desired initial size for the collection (in bytes). For capped collections this size is the max size of the collection.

  • “capped”: if True, this is a capped collection

  • “max”: maximum number of objects if capped (optional)

See the MongoDB documentation for a full list of supported options by server version.

Parameters
  • name: the name of the collection to create

  • codec_options (optional): An instance of CodecOptions. If None (the default) the codec_options of this Database is used.

  • read_preference (optional): The read preference to use. If None (the default) the read_preference of this Database is used.

  • write_concern (optional): An instance of WriteConcern. If None (the default) the write_concern of this Database is used.

  • read_concern (optional): An instance of ReadConcern. If None (the default) the read_concern of this Database is used.

  • collation (optional): An instance of Collation.

  • session (optional): a ClientSession.

  • **kwargs (optional): additional keyword arguments will be passed as options for the create collection command

Changed in version 3.11: This method is now supported inside multi-document transactions with MongoDB 4.4+.

Changed in version 3.6: Added session parameter.

Changed in version 3.4: Added the collation option.

Changed in version 3.0: Added the codec_options, read_preference, and write_concern options.

Changed in version 2.2: Removed deprecated argument: options

current_op(include_all=False, session=None)

DEPRECATED: Get information on operations currently running.

Starting with MongoDB 3.6 this helper is obsolete. The functionality provided by this helper is available in MongoDB 3.6+ using the $currentOp aggregation pipeline stage, which can be used with aggregate(). Note that, while this helper can only return a single document limited to a 16MB result, aggregate() returns a cursor avoiding that limitation.

Users of MongoDB versions older than 3.6 can use the currentOp command directly:

# MongoDB 3.2 and 3.4
await client.admin.command("currentOp")

Or query the “inprog” virtual collection:

# MongoDB 2.6 and 3.0
await client.admin["$cmd.sys.inprog"].find_one()
Parameters
  • include_all (optional): if True also list currently idle operations in the result

  • session (optional): a ClientSession, created with start_session().

Changed in version 2.1: Deprecated, use aggregate() instead.

Changed in version 1.2: Added session parameter.

dereference(dbref, session=None, **kwargs)

Dereference a DBRef, getting the document it points to.

Raises TypeError if dbref is not an instance of DBRef. Returns a document, or None if the reference does not point to a valid document. Raises ValueError if dbref has a database specified that is different from the current database.

Parameters
  • dbref: the reference

  • session (optional): a ClientSession.

  • **kwargs (optional): any additional keyword arguments are the same as the arguments to find().

Changed in version 3.6: Added session parameter.

drop_collection(name_or_collection, session=None)

Drop a collection.

Parameters
  • name_or_collection: the name of a collection to drop or the collection object itself

  • session (optional): a ClientSession.

Note

The write_concern of this database is automatically applied to this operation when using MongoDB >= 3.4.

Changed in version 3.6: Added session parameter.

Changed in version 3.4: Apply this database’s write concern automatically to this operation when connected to MongoDB >= 3.4.

get_collection(name, codec_options=None, read_preference=None, write_concern=None, read_concern=None)
