db.getMongo()
Important
mongosh Method
This is a mongosh method. This is not the
documentation for Node.js or other programming language specific
driver methods.
In most cases, mongosh methods work the same way as
the legacy mongo shell methods. However, some legacy
methods are unavailable in mongosh.
For the legacy mongo shell documentation, refer to the
documentation for the corresponding MongoDB Server release:
For MongoDB API drivers, refer to the language specific MongoDB driver documentation.
db.getMongo()Returns: The current database connection. db.getMongo()runs when the shell initiates. Use this command to test thatmongoshhas a connection to the proper database instance.
Note
The legacy mongo shell has a sub-command,
db.getMongo().setSecondaryOk(), which is not available in
mongosh. In mongosh, use
Mongo.setReadPref() instead.
