cursor.itcount()

Definition

cursor.itcount()

Counts the number of documents remaining in a cursor.

itcount() is similar to cursor.count(), but actually executes the query on an existing iterator, exhausting its contents in the process.

The itcount() method has the following prototype form:

copy

db.collection.find(<query>).itcount()
