Is there a sample MongoDB Database along the lines of world for MySql? [closed]
As someone new to Mongo, I am looking for a sample MongoDB database that I can import and play with. Something along the lines of world for mysql or Northwind for MSSQL.
Is there one? (I couldn't find any reference to one at http://www.mongodb.org nor did my googling help)
I found this you can import the json data with:
mongoimport --db scratch --collection zips --file zips.json
I guess that you can import any json data that you find, it also supports csv and tsv. Hope this helps.
For *NIX/Mac OS this can be done in two simple steps
wget http://media.mongodb.org/zips.json
mongoimport -v --file=zips.json
For Windows users: Please follow the following steps to import from the json file if you are using windows 7:
- Download the above mentioned JSON file and place it inside a folder (say
d:\sample
) - Open a command prompt, start the mongo server by going in to the bin directory and typing in
mongoD
-
Now take another command prompt and go to the bin directory again and write the following command
C:\mongodb\bin>mongoimport --db test --collection zips --file d:\sample\zips.json
The import should start working immediately and at the end it should show something like this : Thu Dec 19 17:11:22 imported 29470 objects
That's it!
