Create Database in MongoDB in 3 easy steps

Create Database Steps in MongoDB :

Check the status of MongoDB is running and connect to that :

ps -ef|grep mongod
mongo
MongoDB Enterprise > show dbs;

Now issue the below command bt you won’t see the db is listed

show dbs;
use <db_name>;
db
show dbs;

Now, you need to insert some data. Let’s say we are inserting data in test collection as below :

db.<collection_name>.insert({"EmpNo" : 1, "John" : "Bangalore"})
db.<collection_name>.find();
show dbs;

Now, you will be able to see the database in list.

If you want to drop the database, use the below command :

use <db_name>
db.dropDatabase()
