To limit the records in MongoDB, use limit() method. limit() method accepts one number type argument, which is number of documents to return.
The syntax of limit() method is as follows
>db.COLLECTION_NAME.find().limit(NUMBER)
The following example displays 2 documents.
>db.mycol.find({},{"title":1,_id:0}).limit(2)
>
By default limit() method will display all documents from the collection without parameter.
skip() accepts number type argument and skips number of documents.
The syntax of skip() method is as follows
>db.COLLECTION_NAME.find().limit(NUMBER).skip(NUMBER)
The following query displays only second found document.
>db.mycol.find({},{"title":1,_id:0}).limit(1).skip(1)
