MongoDB CREATE Database

Use command

MongoDB creates a database in the same way as use + database name. Use creates a new database and returns the database if it exists.
Syntax format

The basic format of the use statement is as follows:

Use database_name
Example

Create a database named, using the USE statement as follows:

>use MyDB
Switched to DB MyDB

Use the command DB to check the currently selected database.

>db
MyDB

Use the command show DBS to check the database list.

>show DBS
Local 0.78125GB
Test 0.23012GB

The database you just created (mydb) does not appear in the list. In order for the database to appear, at least one document should be inserted.

>db.mydb.insert ({"Name": "Tutorials Point"})
>show DBS
Local 0.78125GB
MyDB 0.23012GB
Test 0.23012GB

In MongoDB, the default database is test, and if you do not create any databases, the collection is saved in the test database.
