MongoDB platform specific notes

• mongo scripts are .js javascript files that dbsc uses the mongo command line application to run. mongo must be on your PATH.

A script might look like this:

db.createCollection('books');
db.books.ensureIndex({ name: 1 });
db.books.insert(
	[
		{
			name: 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory',
			author: 'Roald Dahl'
		}
	]
);

• Imports are done via mongodump/mongorestore for each collection. mongodump and mongorestore must be your PATH to import data from another database.
• Because a collection must be destroyed before importing with mongorestore, you will lose indexes on imported collections and get whatever indexes the source database has on the collection. This differs from every other dbsc flavor.
