Some of the commands used in the video are as follows:
To see all the databases in your system
Command: show dbs
Example: show dbs
Result: Local 0.78125GB
Test 0.23012GB
It will show all the databases present in your system.
To check your currently used database
Command: db
It will display the name of the currently used database.
To create a new database
Command: use DATABASE_NAME
Example: To create a database with the name Xyz
Syntax: use Xyz
Your created database is not present in the list when you enter: show dbs. To display the newly created database, you need to insert at least one document into it.
Command: db.collection_name.insert({ “description1″:name1,”description2”:name2})
Example:
dbs.products. insert({“product name”:car,”price”:10,20,000})
To select documents in a collection
Command:
db.collection.find()
Example: db.products.find({“product name”:car,”price”:10,20,000})
To format the printed result,you can add .pretty() to the operation Command:
db.collection.find().pretty()
