# [[Python MongoDB Limit]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
`.limit(n)` chains onto `find()` exactly like `.sort()` does, capping the result to `n` documents — MongoDB's equivalent of SQL's `LIMIT`, but as a method call rather than a SQL keyword. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`.limit(n)`** — chained onto `find()`; restricts the result to `n` documents. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Limit to 5: `myresult = mycol.find().limit(5); for x in myresult: print(x)`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — SQL LIMIT/Python MySQL Limit과 개념은 같지만 메서드 체이닝 문법으로 표현된다는 점이 핵심 차이다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Limit results via method chaining (Python):
```python
myresult = mycol.find().limit(5)
for x in myresult:
    print(x)
```
