MongoDB Drop Database
The dropDatabase command is used to drop a database. It also deletes the associated data files. It operates on the current database.
Syntax:
db.dropDatabase()
This syntax will delete the selected database. In the case you have not selected any database, it will delete default “test” database.
To check the database list , use the command show dbs:
>show dbs
javatpointdb 0.078GB
local 0.078GB
If you want to delete the database “javatpointdb” , use the dropDatabase() command as follows:
>use javatpointdb
switched to the db javatpointdb
>db.dropDatabase()
{ "dropped": "javatpointdb", "ok": 1}
Now check the list of databases:
>show dbs
local 0.078GB
