In MySQL Shell, you can create new collections, get a list of the existing collections in a schema, and remove an existing collection from a schema. Collection names are case-sensitive and each collection name must be unique.
To show the value that is assigned to the schema variable, issue:
mysql-js> db If the schema value is notSchema:world_x, then set thedb variable by issuing:
mysql-js> \use world_x To create a new collection in an existing schema, use thedb object'screateCollection() method. The following example creates a collection calledflags in theworld_x schema.
mysql-js> db.createCollection("flags")The method returns a collection object.
<Collection:flags>
To display all collections in theworld_x schema, use thedb object'sgetCollections() method. Collections returned by the server you are currently connected to appear between brackets.
mysql-js> db.getCollections()[ <Collection:countryinfo>, <Collection:flags>] To drop an existing collection from a schema, use thedb object'sdropCollection() method. For example, to drop theflags collection from the current schema, issue:
mysql-js> db.dropCollection("flags") ThedropCollection() method is also used in MySQL Shell to drop a relational table from a schema.
SeeCollection Objects for more examples.
