Insert Document into MongoDB

To insert a document (which is equivalent to a row in a relational database) into a MongoDB collection using Python and the "pymongo" library.

we can use the "insert_one()" or "insert_many()" methods.

Here's how we can insert document into a MongoDB collection:

Collection Configuration:

After importing "pymongo", we must provide a connection URL and database name to MongoClient.

# import pymongo library
import pymongo

# Connection URL and database name
uri = "mongodb://localhost:27017/"
database_name = "your_database_name"
collection_name = "your_collection_name"

# Connect to MongoDB server
client = pymongo.MongoClient(uri)

# Access the database
db = client[database_name]

# Access the collection
collection = db[collection_name]

Replace "mongodb://localhost:27017/" with the connection string for your MongoDB server.
Replace "your_database_name" with the name of the database where the collection exists or where you want to insert the document.
Replace "your_collection_name" with the name of the collection where you want to insert the document.

Insert Single Document in Collection:

Example:

# Document to insert
document = {"name": "Alice", "age": 20}


# Insert the document into the collection
insert_result = collection.insert_one(document)

# Print the inserted document's ID
print("Inserted document ID:", insert_result.inserted_id)

The "insert_one()" method is used to insert a single document into the collection. We can pass the document (in the form of a dictionary) as an argument to this method.
The "inserted_id" attribute of the "insert_result" object contains the "_id" of the inserted document. You can use this "ID" to retrieve the inserted document later if needed.

Insert Many Documents in Collection:

Example:

#  insert Multiple Document at once
documents = [
    {"name": "Alice", "age": 25},
    {"name": "Edward", "age": 26},
    {"name": "Charles", "age": 45}
]

# Insert the documents into the collection
insert_result = collection.insert_many(documents)

# Print the IDs of the inserted documents
print("Inserted document IDs:", insert_result.inserted_ids)

we can insert multiple documents at once, we can use the "insert_many()" method.

This will insert multiple documents into the collection at once.

The "inserted_ids" attribute of the "insert_result" object contains a list of the "_id" values of the inserted documents.
