dropDatabase() method
The MongoDB db.dropDatabase() command is used to drop an existing database.
Syntax
The basic syntax of the dropDatabase() command is as follows:
db.dropDatabase()
This will remove the selected database. If you haven't selected any database, it will remove the "test" database by default.
example
First, check the list of available databases with the show dbs command .
> show dbs local 0.78125GB mydb 0.23012GB test 0.23012GB >
If you want to drop the new database <mydb> , the dropDatabase() command would look like this:
> use mydb switched to db mydb > db.dropDatabase() >{ "dropped" : "mydb" , "ok" : 1 } >
Now check the list of databases.
