Commands

Create the environment

mongod --dbpath [ Path of the folder where I want my DB ]

Launch the shell

mongo --host [ Adress and port where mongod listens on ]

Stop the server

mongod --dbpath [ Path of the database ] --shutdown

Create a database

Once in the MongoDB shell

use [ Name of the database ]
db # Just to check

Manually add datas

Once in the MongoDB shell

db.[table].insert([ JSON format informations ])

Note :

• "db" is the keyword that we will use, that's why we have to use the use command before, just to select the database
• The table (which is not really a table because NoSQL) doesn't has to be defined, it will then be added automatically

OR

[name of the variable] = [JSON format informations, that can be an array of course]
db.[table].insert([name of the variable]);

To display what is inside a table

db.[table].find().pretty()
