MongoDB CRUD Operations in Python

Overview

In this unit, you'll learn how to perform CRUD operations by using Python. First, you'll learn how BSON documents are represented in Python. Next, you'll learn how to insert, query and retrieve, update, and delete documents in a Python application. Finally, you'll learn how to create a multi-document transaction.

LESSON 1: WORKING WITH MONGODB DOCUMENTS IN PYTHON

What Python data type is used to represent MongoDB documents? (Select one.)

A. Document

B. Dictionary

C. List
You want to insert data stored in a Python dictionary to a new document in your MongoDB collection using the PyMongo driver. What do you need to do to convert a Python dictionary to BSON? (Select one.)

A. Nothing, the dictionary will be automatically converted by the driver to a MongoDB BSON document.

B. Reference an independent library that will help you convert the data from a dictionary to BSON.

C. Add an _id field with an ObjectID value to the dictionary so it can be automatically converted to a MongoDB BSON document by the driver.

LESSON 2: INSERTING A DOCUMENT IN PYTHON APPLICATIONS
