MongoDB Setup Guide for Beginner

Why MongoDB?

Answer:

MongoDB stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents.

Think like this is json database. What makes everything easy with json database

is maping of the object. when you store anything in tables,rows and columns,

accessing the data can be little bit challenging, and can be costly process

for your processor. But on the other hand, in the NoSql since everything is stored

in mapping of key value pair, it is easier+faster and everything becomes easy

and simple with that.

Scalability is challenging in mysql database. This kind of scaling is super easy

in mongoDB. So it's getting high in demand on scalability.

changing schema is so much easy.

Drawbacks with mysql and other relational database is:

1) Hard to understand

2) Adding features harder

3) Inefficiant

MongoDB solved this problems.

then,

In C:\ drive: create a folder called data.

then, inside data create another folder called db

and leave it like this. but remember the path of .

this is the path: C:\data\db

then open cmd from your windows option:

and paste this :

"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.exe"

example: C:\Users\HP>"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.exe"

and minimize the command prompt, keep this running.

then open another terminal and paste this:

"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongo.exe"
