How to connect to my MongoDB table by command line?



In order to connect to my table by command line, you need to use db command

db.yourCollectionName.find();

Let’s say we have a database “sample” with some collections. First check the current database

> use sample; switched to db sample > db; Sample Now we have reached the database sample. The database “sample” is having the following collections: > show collections;

This will produce the following output

arraySizeErrorDemo basicInformationDemo copyThisCollectionToSampleDatabaseDemo deleteAllRecordsDemo deleteDocuments deleteDocumentsDemo deleteSomeInformation documentWithAParticularFieldValueDemo employee findListOfIdsDemo findSubstring getAllRecordsFromSourceCollectionDemo getElementWithMaxIdDemo internalArraySizeDemo largestDocumentDemo makingStudentInformationClone oppositeAddToSetDemo prettyDemo returnOnlyUniqueValuesDemo selectWhereInDemo sourceCollection studentInformation sumOfValueDemo sumTwoFieldsDemo truncateDemo updateInformation userInformation

Here is the correct way of connecting to a table i.e. collection. You need to use db command. Following is the query

> db.userInformation.find();

This will produce the following output

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c6a765964f3d70fcc9147f5"), "Name" : "John", "Age" : 30, "isStudent" : false, "Subjects" : [ "Introduction to java", "Introduction to MongoDB" ] }
