? json_reformat(mongo.MapReduce("function() {emit(this.Country,this.CompanyName);}",""))
= [
    {

        ]
    },
    {

            "Pericles Comidas clásicas",
            "Tortuga Restaurante"
        ]
    },
	....

The map function here maps the CompanyName into a connection keyed on the Country.

Count Companies by Country

dim mongo as extension::MongoDB = extension::MongoDB::Create("mongodb://localhost:27017","Northwinds","Customers")
? json_reformat(mongo.MapReduce("function() {emit(this.Country,this.CompanyName);}","function(key,values) { return values.length; }"))
= [
    {
        "_id": "Germany",
        "value": 11
    },
    {
        "_id": "Mexico",
        "value": 5
    },
    {
        "_id": "UK",
        "value": 7
    },
	...

This example adds a second parameter to 'reduce' the data to a count of the companies found in each Country.
