nodejs - mongodb native find all documents

Question

mongo.Db.connect(mongoUri, function (err, db) {
             


        

Answer 1

Would limiting the query be an option? Literally with db.collection.find().limit()? The limit is parsed before sending the command to the server, so it only scans the amount of data in your limit.
