MongoDB<\/a> uses javascript interface<\/a> for the shell commands. We can really use this feature in a great way – by writing the MongoDB (shell) commands in a javascript (.js file) and execute in single go.<\/p>\n

In this blog, I am going to show an example for the same:<\/p>\n

[javascript]
\n print(‘===== My Demo Script =====’);
\n print(db.getCollectionNames()); \/\/ prints all collection names in respective database
\n print(db.myCollection.count()); \/\/ prints the count of myCollection collection.
\n[\/javascript]<\/p>\n

shell command to execute the script<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

[shell]
\n mongo 127.0.0.1\/my-profile-db –username=’username’ –password=’pwd’ mongodb-script.js
\n[\/shell]<\/p>\n

mongodb-script.js<\/strong> is the shell script.
\nBasically this is just a regular mongodb connection command executing the script (after establishing successful connection).<\/p>\n

In my next blog I will discuss an\u00a0advance use-case – exporting collection records using shell script.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
