RMongo (version 0.0.25)

RMongo-package: MongoDB client for R.

Description

The functions in this package allow you make queries with a MongoDB database from R.

Overview

A typical workflow using RMongo:

1. Connect to a mongodb database:

           mongo <- mongoDbConnect("test", "localhost", 27017)  
         

2. Insert a document into a collection: This will insert a document of '"foo":"bar"' into the "test_data" collection.

           output <- dbInsertDocument(mongo, "test_data", '{"foo": "bar"}')
         

3. Query a MongoDB collection: This will query for documents which have a "foo" attribute with the value of "bar". The return value will be a list of rjson objects or a converted data.frame depending on the format parameter. NOTE: nested documents and arrays may not work properly if you specify a data.frame.

           output <- dbGetQuery(mongo, "test_data", 
                                       '{"foo": "bar"}')
         

   or if you want only a particular set of keys:

           output <- dbGetQueryForKeys(mongo, "test_data", 
                                       '{"foo": "bar"}', '{"foo": 1}')
         

4. Close the connection:

           dbDisconnect(mongo)
         

5. Large result sets: Set your java heap space to a large number to support loading more results into memory.
