I have created a new collection :
db.createCollection("1st_Year_Students")
I am trying to add an object to this collection :
db.1st_Year_Students.insert({FullName : "Test Test"})
I am having this error :
uncaught exception: SyntaxError: identifier starts immediately after numeric literal : @(shell):1:2
Mongo Shell does not recognise the collection name because its started from number and causes the error,
Restriction on Collection Names:
If your collection name includes special characters, such as the underscore character, or begins with numbers, then to access the collection use the
db.getCollection()method in the mongo shell or a similar method for your driver.
db.getCollection('1st_Year_Students').insert({FullName : "Test Test"})
