[01:31:33] <Boomtime> the example uses an existing date field in the documents and extracts the yeah, month, day to group by
[01:35:42] <CrazyTux[m]> Boomtime, what if I want to catenate the actual returned date. i.e. 20150201, 20150202 -> collection resutlts
[01:38:06] <Boomtime> i don't know of a way to do that, but you know a date is better right?
[01:38:25] <Boomtime> i.e it will consume less stored space and be far more flexible in queries
[01:38:39] <Boomtime> why don't you just keep it as a date?
[01:38:41] <CrazyTux[m]> Boomtime, lets say I had a collection of domains when each had a collection of files and I wanted to return the result catenated together, i.e. 20150201 -> result, right now its year => 2015, month => 02, day => 01 in the response.
[01:38:59] <CrazyTux[m]> Boomtime, it is a date but I want to catenate the return response.
[01:39:06] <Boomtime> you are confusing the purpose of the server
[01:39:34] <Boomtime> the server is to store and retrieve data, it has operators for data manipulation purely to facilitate that task
[01:40:01] <CrazyTux[m]> Boomtime, I want the application to receive a formatted response of the result, i.e. in mysql I could do GROUP BY date(created) <- created being a DATETIME column.
[01:40:02] <Boomtime> you own custom display formatting can be done more easily, and appropiately, on the client
[01:40:31] <Boomtime> what you just described is exactly what you have already
[01:40:36] <CrazyTux[m]> So is it not possible to do what I am asking
[01:41:05] <CrazyTux[m]> No because the response is separated into month, day, year, even though the aggregate result is correct the response format is not.
[01:41:13] <CrazyTux[m]> I essentially want to simply catenate the Ymd
[11:49:25] <Boomtime> izx: your OS or hardware is going to limit you before mongodb does
[20:27:05] <flok420> hi. I have a collection with keys. each key has an array of data. now i'm trying to add data to those keys. i tried http://pastebin.com/d7dCbYM0 but db.test.find() always returns nothing. python does not throw any exceptions
