mongo - The Interactive Shell

More Information Presentations The MongoDB distribution includes bin/mongo, the MongoDB interactive shell. This utility is a JavaScript shell that allows you to issue commands to MongoDB from the command line. (it is basically an extended SpiderMonkey shell) The shell is useful for: inspecting a database's contents testing queries creating indices maintenance scripts other administrative functions When you see sample code in this wiki and it looks like JavaScript, assume it is a shell example. See the driver syntax table for a chart that can be used to convert those examples to any language.
