Deleting a Collection in MongoDB
To drop a collection in MongoDB, you can use the drop()
method on the collection object. Here is an example of how to drop a collection named 'users':
db.users.drop()
Here, db
is the name of the current database, and users
is the name of the collection you want to drop. The drop()
method is a MongoDB command that is used to delete a collection.
You can also use the following command to drop a collection in MongoDB
db.runCommand( { drop: "users" } )
This command uses the runCommand()
method and pass a JSON object containing the drop
key with the value of the collection name.
