I have a collection in MongoDB atlas named callhistories I want to rename it as call_history.
If I add the third option in my mongoose model as below :
const callHistory = mongoose.model("callHistory", callHistorySchema, 'call_history');
Would it rename my collection in MongoDB atlas or it will break my site?
Please Help..!
db.callhistories.renameCollection('call_history') use this to rename your existing collection
and if you want to know more you can go to the official documentation https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/db.collection.renameCollection/
You can use the renameCollection function of MongoDB to change the collection name.
for eg:-
const callHistory = mongoose.model('callHistory', callHistorySchema);
callHistory.renameCollection('call_history');
Use this if using mongodb nodejs driver:
db.collection(':podCasts').rename('podCasts');
The previous answers won't work if you have a special symbol (like above example) as your collection name.
