Re: [mongodb-user] Getting ObjectID in Mongo

[Sam Millman]

It depends on the server-side language you are using? Which language are you intending on programming in?

Hi Miguel -- 

when you query on a particular field in that document, is the _id field being returned?  The _id field should contain the ObjectID of the document.

If you don't see the _id field as part of the resulting document, could you specify the query that you are running?

Hi Miguël --

Sorry for the delay but was this what you were trying to do -- access the _id field which contains the ObjectID?

>>> myRecords = myCollection.find( { }, { '_id': 1 } )

>>> for record in myRecords:

record['_id']
