On: I’ll Give MongoDB Another Try In Ten Years

[clintonb11]

You have multiple databases, just like a sql solution. One database per project.

Can you elaborate please? With a Postgres/MySQL/Oracle installation I can say `CREATE DATABASE` and get a new namespace. I couldn't find anything like that with Mongo. Am I just missing something?

"use foobar" creates a new database called foobar.

Ah, somewhere along the line I got the impression that in Mongo a "database" and a "collection" were the same thing, but that's not true. Glad to know this was just my mistake!

Nope. Collections are analogous to tables, and documents to rows.
