To create a collection correctly you need to use a MongoDB object in call i.e.
db.createCollection("yourCollectionName");Let us implement the above syntax in order to create a collection and call it using a MongoDB object −
> use sample;
switched to db sample
> db.createCollection("employeeInformation");
{ "ok" : 1 }Display all the collections from the above ‘sample’ database −
> db.getCollectionNames();
This will produce the following output −
[ "arraySizeErrorDemo", "atleastOneMatchDemo", "basicInformationDemo", "combinedAndOrDemo", "convertSQLQueryDemo", "copyThisCollectionToSampleDatabaseDemo", "countOrSizeDemo", "distinctOnMultipleFieldsDemo", "documentWithAParticularFieldValueDemo", "employee", "employeeInformation", "findListOfIdsDemo", "findMimimumElementInArrayDemo", "findSubstring", "getAllRecordsFromSourceCollectionDemo", "getElementWithMaxIdDemo", "insertDocumentWithDateDemo", "internalArraySizeDemo", "keepTwoColumnsUniqueDemo", "largestDocumentDemo", "makingStudentInformationClone", "nestedArrayDemo", "oppositeAddToSetDemo", "prettyDemo", "projectionAnElementDemo", "replacingEntireDocumentDemo", "returnOnlyUniqueValuesDemo", "searchInInnerDemo", "selectItemDemo", "selectWhereInDemo", "sourceCollection", "specificFieldDemo", "studentInformation", "sumOfValueDemo", "sumTwoFieldsDemo", "truncateDemo", "updateFieldIfValueIsGreaterDemo", "updateInformation", "updateSubObjectDemo", "userInformation" ]
