MongoDatabase

A grouping of collections with the same theme.

What is a database?

Collections are grouped into databases to avoid name collisions. Databases are similar to Kotlin packages. If multiple applications are deployed in the same MongoDB instance in their own database, they can use the same collection names (e.g. users) without conflicts.

Each database has a name that must be unique within a MongoDB deployment.

Access

To obtain a database, see MongoClient.database.

To obtain a collection, see collection.
