db.collection.validate()¶
-
db.collection.
validate
()¶ Parameters: - full (Boolean) – Optional. Specify
true
to enable a full validation. MongoDB disables full validation by default because it is a potentially resource intensive operation.
Provides a wrapper around the
validate
database command. Call thedb.collection.validate()
method on a collection object, to validate the collection itself. Specify the full option to return full statistics.The
validation
operation scans all of the data structures for correctness and returns a single document that describes the relationship between the logical collection and the physical representation of that data.The output can provide a more in depth view of how the collection uses storage. Be aware that this command is potentially resource intensive, and may impact the performance of your MongoDB instance.
