Maximum Number of Documents in a Capped Collection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can specify a maximum number of documents when creating a capped
collection by setting the optional ``max`` parameter in the
:method:`db.createCollection()` method or :dbcommand:`create`
command.

If you specify a maximum number of documents when creating a capped
collection, this limit must be less than 2\ :sup:`32` documents. If
you do not specify a maximum number of documents when creating a
capped collection, there is no limit on the number of documents in a
capped collection.
