To drop a database in MongoDB, you can use the db.dropDatabase()
method. This will delete the current database, including all of its collections and data.
Here's an example:
1 2 |
use my_database db.dropDatabase() |
This will drop the my_database
database. Be careful, as once a database is dropped, all of its data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
If you want to switch to a different database after dropping the current one, you can use the use
command followed by the name of the database you want to switch to, like this:
1
|
use my_new_database
|
This will switch to the my_new_database
database, which will be created if it doesn't already exist.
