I have a collection and want to get a set of results that met a set of conditions. I understand the Mongo doesn't let you use joins so I would need to run separate queries and join the results into a single response.

But is it possible to join the results of separate queries together to get the intended output.

Are there any basic examples I could see query results joined together.

Thanks

For example could I join these two queries so I get the results of both queries:

coll.find({"coordinates.type" : "Point"},{"coordinates" :1}, tailable = True, timeout = False)

and:

coll.find({"place.bounding_box.type" : "Polygon"},{"place.bounding_box.coordinates" : 1}, tailable = True, timeout = False)

In your specific example, you do not need to run those queries separately. You can join the results like so:

coll.find({ $or : [ { "coordinates.type" : "Point" }, { "place.bounding_box.type" : "Polygon" } ] },{"coordinates" :1, "place.bounding_box.coordinates" : 1}
)

You can also use $and / $elementMatch instead of an $or
