[01:37:27] <steelbrain> by rows I meant documents.
[01:37:49] <steelbrain> (I come from an RDBMS background :D )
[01:38:01] <StephenLynx> find uses a cursor that retrieves in batches, afaik
[01:38:13] <StephenLynx> aggregate will return the whole array at once
[01:38:38] <StephenLynx> you can use toArray on the cursor to fetch the whole array at once
[01:39:05] <steelbrain> I actually want them one by one. and It's a cool thing that it does that already
[01:39:33] <steelbrain> as I have some logic in the app land and I need to meet it's limit, I don't know if the required limit will be met in the first rows of that count or maybe a thousand.
[13:24:30] <kexmex> i got a question on c# driver. I have old code that does WriteUnacknowledged and then does GetLastError() in order to detect a dupe insertion. Now getLastError() is obsoleted-- how to gracefully detect dupes? Or do I have to catch?
[14:18:26] <Mikk36> How would i go about recreating this query in MongoDB? SELECT * FROM (SELECT id, text FROM logs ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5) as tbl ORDER BY tbl.id ASC

[18:41:24] <angular_mike_> Hello, it seems like `mongoimport` does not come with mongodb installation by default. How do I get it?
[18:47:00] <angular_mike_> it appears that it is being distributed in a separate package, community/mongodb-tools for Arch
[19:54:09] <synthmeat> a quick question - i have 1GB/1CPU mongo instance. 7 clients. should it be better to abstract in code for those clients to act through another singular, so i don't need many connections to mongo from mny clients?
[19:55:12] <synthmeat> latency caused by mediator shouldn't be an issue
[20:32:52] <dan801> Amateur question here.. but what is the structure behind a mongo database? Does it just use arrays of json objects?
