Import UUID from CSV using "mongoimport"

Working with Data Developer Tools

Hi Thomas,

Welcome to the online MongoDB Developer Community Forums!

In order to get a better understanding of your question, I have two questions in return:

  1. What kind of queries will you run on this data after loading? And how do these queries depend on (the type of) this UUID field?

  2. Why do you prefer to store this field as a UUID “type”? Or now with MongoDB as binary? What influence does it have on the way you can work with the data?

One question I saw on the forum that might be relevant for you is Problem inserting UUID field with binary subType via Atlas web UI
