Mongoose By Sarah Monette And Elizabeth Bear

The getters are useful for formatting or combining fields, while setters are useful for de-composing a single value into multiple values for storage. For the Local Library example we’re going to use the Mongoose ODM to access our library data. Mongoose acts as a front end to MongoDB, an open source NoSQL database that uses a document-oriented data model. A “collection” of “documents” in a MongoDB database is analogous to a “table” of “rows” in a relational database. Mongooses eat small mammals, birds, reptiles, eggs, and occasionally fruit. A number of mongooses, especially those of the genus Herpestes, will attack and kill venomous snakes for food.

She was Rikki Tikki Tavi, and the breeder was Nagina, and mongoose bicycles knew what had to happen. She launched off Irizarry’s shoulders, shifting phase as she went, and without contact between them, there was nothing he could do to call her back. In less than a second, he didn’t even know where she was. Breeding raths were slow—much slower than the juveniles, or the sexually dormant adult rovers—but that was because they were armored like titanium armadillos. Babies flocked to mama, mama rolled herself in a ball, and it would take a tactical nuke to kill them. Irizarry had seen a pissed off breeder take out a bulkhead on a steelship once; it was pure dumb luck that it hadn’t breached the hull.

The king cobra needs to bite the mongoose probably more than once to put it down. Meanwhile, the mammal has far more speed and agility, and it can crack a snake’s skull with just a single bite. These animals are most active during the day while they hunt and socialize. Mongooses can be quite intelligent and playful, especially in social settings. Ancient Egyptians would sometimes put mummified mongooses in tombs with their owners, since they were a common pet. The mongoose is an animal that is perhaps best known for its remarkable ability to kill snakes, like the cobra.

A handful of passengers and crew had escaped to tell the tale. You can also use create() to define the model instance at the same time as you save it. The callback will return mongoose bicycles an error for the first argument and the newly-created model instance for the second argument. To create a record you can define an instance of the model and then call save().

The first thing we need to do is include in our project and open a connection to the test database on our locally running instance of MongoDB. Less diverse than the viverrids, the 30 species and 11 genera of mongooses are assigned to only two subfamilies. The subfamily Herpestinae comprises 30 species of African and Asian mongooses, including the Cape gray mongoose, the Egyptian mongoose and the meerkat or suricate.
