Updating Data in MongoDB Documents with New Fields from a CSV File

Working with databases can sometimes be tricky, especially when it comes to updating existing records. One common scenario developers encounter is needing to add new fields to MongoDB documents based on data from a CSV file. In this guide, we will discuss how to effectively update your MongoDB documents using the PyMongo library in Python.

The Problem: Updating MongoDB with New Fields

Imagine you have a MongoDB collection with existing documents that contain various fields such as date, country, and confirmed cases. After gathering more data, you realize that new fields like vaccination and daily vaccinations per million have appeared in your new CSV file. Your task is to update the existing documents in your MongoDB database by incorporating these new fields without duplicating entries.

The following is an example of the database record you might currently have:

The Solution: Step-by-step Guide to Update MongoDB Documents

To accomplish this task, you will utilize PyMongo, a Python driver for MongoDB. Here’s how to do it step by step.

Step 1: Install Required Libraries

Before you start, make sure you have installed PyMongo and pandas which will help in reading CSV files. If you haven’t done so already, you can install them via pip:

Step 4: Update Existing Documents

Loop through each row of the DataFrame and update the corresponding documents in the MongoDB collection. The update_one method is ideal here as it allows you to update documents based on a specified criteria.

The upsert=True option tells MongoDB to insert the document if it doesn't exist based on the filter criteria.

Conclusion

Updating documents in MongoDB with new fields using data from a CSV file can be straightforward with PyMongo. By following the steps outlined above, you can efficiently manage your database and ensure your documents are always up-to-date with the latest information.
