MongoDB Create DB

This lesson is part of Python · All levels

Summary

This lesson explains how a database works in MongoDB that is different from MySQL, which is a database that is created automatically when the first data is stored. You just access the client and work with the collection inside. The database list can be checked with client.list_database_names().

Key points

Databases and collections in MongoDB are customized, not required to use the special CREATE command.
A new database will appear on the list once it contains at least one document.
Access the database with the client["store"] or client.toko, then close with client.close().
Built-in admin, config, and local databases should be avoided for application data storage.
MongoDB is schemaless: documents in a collection may have different fields.
