MongoDB File Import Guide

There are several methods to import files into MongoDB.

  1. To import files into a MongoDB database, you can use the mongoimport command, which is a built-in tool that requires specifying the file path and import options such as the database and collection names.
mongoimport --db <database_name> --collection <collection_name> --file <file_path>
  1. When using MongoDB drivers like pymongo (Python) or mongo-java-driver (Java), you can utilize the methods provided by the driver to import files. The specific methods and code will vary depending on the driver being used.
  2. Third-party tools such as Robo 3T and MongoDB Compass can assist you in importing files into MongoDB, providing graphical interfaces and additional import options for a more convenient and flexible file import process.

No matter which method you use, it is important to ensure that the file format meets the requirements of MongoDB, as well as the existence of the database and collection. Additionally, you can also use appropriate import options to control the importing behavior, such as specifying field mappings, ignoring duplicate documents, etc.
