I have some documents in Mongo:
{"name" : "John", "age" : 26}
{"name" : "Paul", "age" : 34}
{"name" : "George", "age" : 36}
and another function that expects documents of the form:
{"name" : "XXX", "value" : YY}
Is it possible to rename the 'age' field to 'value' in a find query in PyMongo?
I'd use the aggregate
method with $project
operator.
From mongodb web docs.
You may also use $project to rename fields. Consider the following
example:
db.article.aggregate(
{ $project : {
title : 1 ,
page_views : "$pageViews" ,
bar : "$other.foo"
}} );`
e.g.
db.mycol.aggregate({ $project : { name:1, value:"$age" }});
see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/aggregation/#_S_project
