[SOLVED] mongodb script file

Issue

I am newbie to mongodb.

We can execute list of queries by specifying it in a script .sql file in relational db and can run it by running the command source c:\test.sql.

For instance

CREATE DATABASE `sandbox`;
USE `sandbox`;

CREATE TABLE pet (
    name VARCHAR(20), 
    owner VARCHAR(20),
    species VARCHAR(20), 
    sex CHAR(1), 
    birth DATE, 
   death DATE
);
SHOW TABLES;

Then it can be execute as

$ mysql -u root -p admin
mysql > source test.sql;

Questions

• How can we do that in mongodb?
• Which type of file can we store mongodb commands?
• How can we execute a mongodb script?

Solution

You can do it with shell script. You can execute the commands using the following command.

./mongo server:27017/dbname --quiet my_commands.js

For details check Scripting the shell document in Mongo docs.
