How to import in mongo database?

Import and Export database in Mongo just like MySQL

  • I am newbie to the Mongo.Before this I have worked only with MySQL.In MySQL we can import and export database easily.I want to know is there any option available in Mongo to import and export database easily.Any help and suggestions will be highly appreciable.

  • Answer:

    If you look inside mongodb/bin folder (ls -l) You can find a couple of binaries. The mongoDB has import and export tools. If you're running mongod locally on the default port, you can just do: $ ./mongodump Example: Dumping Everything $ ./mongodump --host prod.example.com Example: Dumping a Single Collection $ ./mongodump --db blog --collection posts Others like http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/mongoexport, mongoimport, mongorestore, bsondump etc. for more http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Import+Export+Tools

You can use something like this to export: mongodump -h yourhost -d yourdbname And to import, just run: mongorestore It is important to remember that mongorestore just insert new documents, but does not update or delete the old ones. If you want to discard your database, you need to use the --drop: mongorestore --drop This is how I export and import databases like MySQL. You can learn more about mongodump and mongorestore here: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/mongodump/ http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/mongorestore/
