For some reason my mongodb data base is corrupt (it does not behave as it should "Dup key: {: null}" mongodb error, and I would like to clean it, delete all its data completely. I'm in Debian and I do not know which is the easiest way to do it. Thanks in advance
In linux you can use the command:
mongo <dbname> --eval "db.dropDatabase()"
where dbname is the name of the database
You can also type mongo in the console. use myDataBase with myDataBase the name of the database. Then db.dropDataBase() to delete it. To see the databases, try show dbs . All this after being in the mongo shell.
