Run mongo Shell
Step 13: Now we are going to connect our server (mongod) with the mongo shell. So, keep that mongod window and open a new command prompt window and write mongo. Now, our mongo shell will successfully connect to the mongod.
Important Point: Please do not close the mongod window if you close this window your server will stop working and it will not able to connect with the mongo shell.
Now, you are ready to write queries in the mongo Shell.
Run MongoDB
Now you can make a new database, collections, and documents in your shell. Below is an example of how to make a new database:
The use Database_name command makes a new database in the system if it does not exist, if the database exists it uses that database:
use gfg
Now your database is ready of name gfg.
The db.Collection_name command makes a new collection in the gfg database and the insertOne() method inserts the document in the student collection:
db.student.insertOne({Akshay:500})
Hence MongoDB is successfully installed and its working absolutely perfect! You can know more MongoDB in MongoDB: An introduction also learn more from MongoDB Tutorial by w3wiki!
