MongoDB: db.listCommands() method

db.listCommands

The db.listCommands() method is used to display a list of common database commands.

Syntax:

db.listCommands()

Example: MongoDB: db.listCommands() method 

db.listCommands();

Output:

> db.listCommands();
_isSelf:
  { _isSelf : 1 } INTERNAL ONLY

_mergeAuthzCollections:  adminOnly  slaveOk
  Internal command used by mongorestore for updating user/role data

aggregate:
  { pipeline: [ { $operator: {...}}, ... ], explain: <bool>, allowDiskUse: <bool>, cursor: {batchSize: <number>} }
  See http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/aggregation for more details.

appendOplogNote:  adminOnly  slaveOk
  Adds a no-op entry to the oplog

applyOps:
  internal (sharding)
  { applyOps : [ ] , preCondition : [ { ns : ... , q : ... , res : ... } ] }

authSchemaUpgrade:  adminOnly  slaveOk
  Upgrades the auth data storage schema

authenticate:
  internal

availableQueryOptions:
  no help defined

buildInfo:
  get version #, etc.
  { buildinfo:1 }

checkShardingIndex:
  Internal command.


cleanupOrphaned:  adminOnly  slaveOk
  no help defined

clone:
  clone this database from an instance of the db on another host
  { clone : "host13" }

cloneCollection:
  { cloneCollection: <collection>, from: <host> [,query: <query_filter>] [,copyIndexes:<bool>] }
  Copies a collection from one server to another. Do not use on a single server as the destination is placed at the same db.collection (namespace) as the source.


cloneCollectionAsCapped:
  { cloneCollectionAsCapped:<fromName>, toCollection:<toName>, size:<sizeInBytes> }

closeAllDatabases:  adminOnly  slaveOk
  Close all database files.
  A new request will cause an immediate reopening; thus, this is mostly for testing purposes.

collMod:
  Sets collection options.
  Example: { collMod: 'foo', usePowerOf2Sizes:true }
  Example: { collMod: 'foo', index: {keyPattern: {a: 1}, expireAfterSeconds: 600} }

collStats:
  { collStats:"blog.posts" , scale : 1 } scale divides sizes e.g. for KB use 1024
      avgObjSize - in bytes

compact:
  compact collection
  warning: this operation locks the database and is slow. you can cancel with killOp()
  { compact : <collection_name>, [force:<bool>], [validate:<bool>],
    [paddingFactor:<num>], [paddingBytes:<num>] }
    force - allows to run on a replica set primary
    validate - check records are noncorrupt before adding to newly compacting extents. slower but safer (defaults to true in this version)


connPoolStats:
  stats about connection pool

connPoolSync:
  internal

connectionStatus:
  Returns connection-specific information such as logged-in users

convertToCapped:
  { convertToCapped:<fromCollectionName>, size:<sizeInBytes> }

copydb:  adminOnly  slaveOk
  copy a database from another host to this host
  usage: {copydb: 1, fromhost: <connection string>, fromdb: <db>, todb: <db>[, slaveOk: <bool>, username: <username>, nonce: <nonce>, key: <key>]}

copydbgetnonce:  adminOnly  slaveOk
  get a nonce for subsequent copy db request from secure server
  usage: {copydbgetnonce: 1, fromhost: <hostname>}

count:
  count objects in collection

create:
  create a collection explicitly
  { create: <ns>[, capped: <bool>, size: <collSizeInBytes>, max: <nDocs>] }

createIndexes:
  no help defined

createRole:
  Adds a role to the system



createUser:
  Adds a user to the system


cursorInfo:
   example: { cursorInfo : 1 }, deprecated

dataSize:
  determine data size for a set of data in a certain range
  example: { dataSize:"blog.posts", keyPattern:{x:1}, min:{x:10}, max:{x:55} }
  min and max parameters are optional. They must either both be included or both omitted
  keyPattern is an optional parameter indicating an index pattern that would be usefulfor iterating over the min/max bounds. If keyPattern is omitted, it is inferred from the structure of min.
  note: This command may take a while to run

dbHash:
  no help defined

dbStats:

drop:

  {drop : <collectionName>}

dropAllRolesFromDatabase:
  Drops all roles from the given database.  Before deleting the roles completely it must remove them from any users or other roles that reference them.  If any errors occur in the middle of that process it's possible to be left in a state where the roles have been removed from some user/roles but ot
herwise still exist.


dropAllUsersFromDatabase:
  Drops all users for a single database.


dropDatabase:
  drop (delete) this database

dropIndexes:
  drop indexes for a collection

dropRole:
  Drops a single role.  Before deleting the role completely it must remove it from any users or roles that reference it.  If any errors occur in the middle of that process it's possible to be left in a state where the role has been removed from some user/roles but otherwise still exists.


dropUser:
  Drops a single user.


eval:
  Evaluate javascript at the server.
  http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/serversidecodeexecution

  { findAndModify: "collection", query: {processed:false}, update: {$set: {processed:true}}, new: true}
  { findAndModify: "collection", query: {processed:false}, remove: true, sort: {priority:-1}}
  Either update or remove is required, all other fields have default values.
  Output is in the "value" field
