Hi when I do a mongorestore to dump my database ok
if I had:
> show dbs
local (empty)
test 0.203125GB
it became:
> show dbs
local (empty)
test 0.203125GB
ok 0.203125GB
but if I do a db.getCollectionName()
it just prints
> db.getCollectionNames()
[ "system.indexes", "test", "users" ]
I want ok to appear here, how can I do ?
thanks
Ok
will never appear in the list of collections, becauseok
is a database, not a collection. Databases contain many collections, but aren't collections themselves.To see the collections in the
ok
database, typeuse ok
followed bydb.getCollectionNames();
.If you want to backup and restore a single collection, then you'll need to use the
--collection
arguments to mongodump and mongorestore. See the documentation for more info.
