How to load initial data in MongoDB?

Viewed 17942

Does anyone know how to populate mongodb with initial data? For example, with a traditional SQL database, you can put all your SQL statements in a textfile, then load that using a SQL command. This is extremely useful for unit testing.

Is it possible to do this with the mongo shell? For example, write down a list of shell statements into a file, and get the mongo shell to read the file and execute the statements.
