Close MongoDB Connection

Connect to MongoDB and count the total number of documents in a collection.

Create a MongoDB connection to the database mongotest. Here, the database server dbtb01 hosts this database using port number 27017.

server = "dbtb01";
port = 27017;
dbname = "mongotest";
conn = mongo(server,port,dbname)

conn = 

  mongo with properties:

               Database: 'mongotest'
               UserName: ''
                 Server: {'dbtb01'}
                   Port: 27017
        CollectionNames: {'airlinesmall', 'employee', 'largedata' ... and 3 more}
         TotalDocuments: 23485919

conn is the mongo object that contains the MongoDB connection. The object properties contain information about the connection and the database.

• The database name is mongotest.

• The user name is blank.

• The database server is dbtb01.

• The port number is 27017.

• This database contains six document collections. The first three collection names are airlinesmall, employee, and largedata.

• This database contains 23,485,919 documents.

Verify the MongoDB connection.

isopen(conn)

ans =

  logical

   1

The database connection is successful because the isopen function returns 1. Otherwise, the database connection is closed.

collection = "employee";
n = count(conn,collection)

n =

    25
