example-1-A.js

//switch to the madMen database
use madMen

//insert one document
db.names.insert({'name' : 'Don Draper'});

example-1-B.js

//connect to the madMen database
mongoDbClient.connect(dbUrl, function(err, database) {
  console.log("Connected successfully to MongoDB database");

  //set the database and collection references
  var db = database.db(dbName),
    collection = db.collection(collectionName);

    //insert one document into the collection
    collection.insert(dbDocument, function(err, result) {
      console.log("Inserted 1 document into the collection:");
