Learn Python MongoDB with Free Lessons & Tips

MangoDB can be of a 30 to 35 hours of course duration.  Depends upon the number of hours that you can allot per day, you can complete it comfortably in 3 to 4 weeks.  If you are not having any kind of experience in any databases or computers before, then it might take an additional 3 to 4 hours of session.

But whatever you learn, you have to understand it properly and you have to practice repeatedly, then only your skills and confidence on that technology will improve.

You must understand that every Technology or a Tool has its own purpose of existence and has been created for a need. While SQL is used to handle Structured or Tabular Data, the purpose of Mongo DB is to handle semi-structured and un-structured data. Hence these two technologies are catering to two different requirements and cannot be compared. There are many real time applications which uses both these technologies to process data. read less

Suppose you have csv file of name location. You can see what is there in csv file using cat function like

cat > locations.csv
Name,Address,City,State,ZIP
Jane Doe,123 Main St,Whereverville,CA,90210
John Doe,555 Broadway Ave,New York,NY,10010

Now there is command called as mongoimport to load csv data into mongodb.

Format to run this query is shown as below.
mongoimport -d mydb -c things --type csv --file locations.csv --headerline

Now connect to MongoDB server and check the database name as db.

> use mydb
> db.things.find() 

and it will give following output.

{ "_id" : ObjectId("4d32a36ed63d057130c08fca"), "Name" : "Jane Doe", "Address" : "123 Main St", "City" : "Whereverville", "State" : "CA", "ZIP" : 90210 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("4d32a36ed63d057130c08fcb"), "Name" : "John Doe", "Address" : "555 Broadway Ave", "City" : "New York", "State" : "NY", "ZIP" : 10010 }
