How to print out more than 20 items (documents) in MongoDB's shell?
db.foo.find().limit(300)
won't do it. It still prints out only 20 documents.
db.foo.find().toArray()
db.foo.find().forEach(printjson)
will both print out very expanded view of each document instead of the 1-line version for find()
:
Could always do:
db.foo.find().forEach(function(f){print(tojson(f, '', true));});
To get that compact view.
Also, I find it very useful to limit the fields returned by the find so:
db.foo.find({},{name:1}).forEach(function(f){print(tojson(f, '', true));});
which would return only the _id and name field from foo.
