Hello Programmers! In previous chapter we were introduced with MongoDB. Now we know that MongoDB is NoSQL database program that provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data in documents of tree structured collections.
In this MongoDB Tutorial we will see how to create a Database in MongoDB.
Above is example of use command that shows how to create a new to database.
Note: When you create new database using use command and then check the database list using show dbs, you will not find the new created database in this list until you do not create at least a collection in that database. By default ‘test’ database is selected if not creating new database then collection will be created and stored in ‘test’ database.
Now we will see how to drop a database using MongoDB command.
Below is the basic syntax of Drob Database Command:
Switch to existing database using ‘use’ Command and write down the command dropDatabase() and hit Enter button and your existing database is deleted.
dropDatabase() command deletes the selected database therefore you do not required to write any other filter criteria. If you haven’t select any database then it delete ‘test’ database by default.
Next chapter in this tutorial series will elaborate How to create/remove collection using MongoDB Shell?
