Python Connector for MongoDB

Python Connector for MongoDB is a connectivity solution for accessing MongoDB databases from Python applications. It fully implements the Python DB API 2.0 specification. The connector is distributed as a wheel package for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Connecting

To establish a connection to a MongoDB database, import the connector and use the connect() method with your connection parameters.

Import the connector

First, import the MongoDB connector module:

import devart.mongodb as mongodb

Establish a connection

Call the connect() method and obtain a connection object.

my_connection = mongodb.connect(
    Server="your_server",    Database="your_database",    Username="your_username",    Password="your_password",    ClientLibary="path_to_libmongoc",    BSONLibrary="path_to_libbson"
)

Replace the example values with your actual connection values.

Querying data

Once connected to MongoDB, you can execute SQL queries to retrieve data from your database.

Execute a query

Create a cursor object using the cursor() connection method.

my_cursor = my_connection.cursor()

Execute a SQL query using the execute() cursor method.

my_cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM employees")

Retrieve results using one of the fetch*() methods.

for row in my_cursor.fetchall(): 
    print(row)

Parameterized queries

You can use parameterized queries to pass variable values to your SQL statements. This allows you to reuse the same query with different data and helps to prevent SQL injection attacks.

Pass parameters as a list or tuple to the execute() method:

query = "SELECT Id, Name FROM Contact WHERE Name = ? AND Email = ?"
params = ["Jordan Sanders", "[e-mail]"]
my_cursor.execute(query, params)
results = my_cursor.fetchall()
for row in results:
    print(row)

Each placeholder ? in the query is replaced with a corresponding value from the parameter list.
