Mongo Command Line Quick Reference

Mini Mongo Command Ref

## Mongo CLI commands I don't use often enough to remember

## select database to use
use db_name

## list 'tables'
show collections

## list table contents
db.table_name.find()

## insert new 'row' into table
db.table_name.insert({"otherObj" : ObjectId("51012"), "email" : "[email protected]", "name" : "Joe", "id" : 123,  "zip" : "12345" })

## update 'row' into table
## '{$set: {}}' updates, '{"val" : "new"}' (without the {$set: } wrapper) replaces all values. 
db.table_name.update({ "_id" : ObjectId("51013") }, {$set: {"otherObj" : ObjectId("51012"), "email" : "[email protected]", "name" : "Joe", "id" : 456,  "zip" : "12345" }})

## remove 'row' from table
db.table_name.remove({"_id" : ObjectId("51013")})
