Creating a Database
To create a database in MongoDB, start by creating a MongoClient object, then specify a connection URL with the correct ip address and the name of the database you want to create.
MongoDB will create the database if it does not exist, and make a connection to it.
python
Note: Important: In MongoDB, a database is not created until it
gets content!
MongoDB waits until you have created a collection (table), with at least one document (record) before it actually creates the database (and collection).
Check if Database Exists
Note: Remember: In MongoDB, a database is not created until it
gets content, so if this is your first time creating a database, you should
complete the next two chapters (create collection and create document) before
you check if the database exists!
You can check if a database exist by listing all databases in you system:
python
Or you can check a specific database by name:
