I am really thankful for living at this period of the history. Life by means of people like Brad is more beautiful.

Index Management:

MongoDB allows you to manage indexes to improve query performance. You can list and drop indexes on collections.

List Indexes:
db.posts.getIndexes()

Drop Index:
db.posts.dropIndex({ title: 1 })
