![]() This data could be a collection or a document. MongoDB only creates the database when you first store data in that database. If you enter the show dbs command, the result should still be the same: > show dbs Note that, for now, only the context has been changed. In order to create a database, you will first need to switch the context to a non-existing database using the use command: > use myshinynewdb There is no “create” command in the MongoDB Shell. Note that admin and local are databases that are part of every MongoDB cluster. Once you have access to a cluster via the MongoDB Shell, you can see all the databases in the cluster that you have access to using the “show” command: > show dbs Open a terminal, run the mongosh command and log in to the MongoDB self-managed clusterįind out more at Connect to a Deployment from the MongoDB Shell Creating a MongoDB database with the CLI.Make sure the MongoDB Shell is installed on your computer.Make sure the MongoDB self-managed cluster is installed and running on your computer or the computer you are going to connect to.If you are running a self-managed cluster of MongoDB: Open a terminal emulator, run the mongosh command, and log in to the MongoDB Atlas clusterįind out more at Connect to Atlas via MongoDB Shell Prerequisites for using the CLI with a self-managed MongoDB cluster.Make sure you have the MongoDB Shell installed on your machine.Make sure you have a database user on the MongoDB cluster you want to use.Add your IP to the IP access list for your Atlas project.If you are using MongoDB Atlas, the steps to getting a shell are as follows: Prerequisites for using the CLI with MongoDB Atlas A shell is a program that allows you to enter commands into a software system. To create a database using a command-line interface, the first task is to get access to the MongoDB cluster you are using via the MongoDB Shell. Like most complex software systems, MongoDB can be controlled with what is called a command-line interface, often referred to as a CLI.īy entering commands into the CLI, you tell MongoDB how to operate, get information about how the MongoDB cluster is running, and perform fundamental actions like the one we will cover today: creating a database. You can manually enter new documents, or connect to the database using any of the MongoDB drivers. ![]() ![]() Once these fields are filled, click on “Create” and your database will be created for you. This will open up a modal, asking you for a database name and collection name. If there are no databases in this cluster, you will be presented with the option to create your first database by clicking on the “Add My Own Data” button.
