Import a data base file.json into robo3T (robomongo)
to import data for a collection in Robomongo:
- Right click on collection.
- Select 'insert Document'.
- Paste your json data
- Click validate.
- Click save.
Ok, I found the answer. In shell Mac OS X or Unix type:
$ mongoimport -d your Database Name -c your Collection Name --file /path/to/my/fileThatIwantToImport.json
For anyone wishing to use mongoimport with a remote db (@andi-giga), here's what I did to make it work:
mongoimport -h xxx.mlab.com --port 2700 -d db_name -c collection_name -u user_name -p password --type json --file /Path/to/file.jsonArguments should be self-explanatory.
-h hostname
