What are the basics of MongoDB Scripts?
I think the script will end with .js, and we run it using mongo try.js
But if I put
print(db.foo.find())
in try.js and use mongo try.js
it will say
MongoDB shell version: 1.6.1
connecting to: test
DBQuery: test.foo -> undefined
and if I use the interactive shell by typing mongo and type
> db.foo.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("4c7a73428261000000003a7e"), "a" : 1 }
> print(db.foo.find())
DBQuery: test.foo -> undefined
the {a : 1} was something I inserted earlier using db.foo.insert({a:1})
what are the proper ways of doing MongoDB Scripts and how to print things out like a Ruby irb or Python's IDLE? thanks. (Ruby's puts a.inspect or p a can both print out the whole structure of a usually (all the variable names and values in a))
alert(db.foo.find()) and console.log(db.foo.find()) won't work either.
