PyMongo - Create database with no collections or documents

Working with Data Drivers
4

I arrived here with same question :grimacing:.
It’s first time for me with Mongo, and I have the mental model from SQL.

My test case is a CMS (payload) that need a MongoDB instance in order to persist data.
Payload will create and fill “collections”. I do not even know collections names.

Typical connection string for payload are - in local env - mongodb://localhost:27017/payload-db
Here payload-db is the name of the database.

But when i launch a MongoDb instance locally, there is no “payload-db” database.
There are admin, config, local.

At this point, for me , the natural things to do is the mongo’s equivalent of SQL’s CREATE DATABASE payload-db
