I am trying to run ./mongoimport -d crunchbase -c companies companies.json,
but I am getting the following error:-
open companies.json: no such file or directory is found
I am running the above command from
mongod/bin
Can anyone suggest me what error I am doing?
I am trying to import a CSV file to MongoDB following this command :
mongoimport -d example -c Transportation --type csv --fieldFile cyclingnetwork.csv
But I got this error :
SyntaxError: missing ; before statement #<shell>:1:15
It's because you are trying to use the command in the mongoshell
You have to use mongoimport OUTSIDE the mongoshell environment.
So just turn cmd on if you are on windows or terminal if you are on mac/linux and try the same command. If you have provided the right path, it should work.
I have try to export my old mongodb database from mLab cloud, but it's show an SyntaxError. Please see my query and SyntaxError below :
query: mongoexport -h ds02575.mlab.com:25752 -d heroku_g2dn9rd9 -c accounts -u adam -p dino -file accounts.json
And SyntaxError: 2017-12-28T10:36:37.340+0600 E QUERY [thread1] SyntaxError: missing ; before statement #(shell):1:15
Please tell me how can i export it, It's really important for me now
Thanks
Mongoexport should be run from the system command line, not from the mongo shell.
I have a file named services.json containing a data base that I exported from a windows mongodb, and I want to import that file into robomongo (connected to mongodb installed by npm) on Ubuntu.
I'm a beginner and I don't know how to proceed, which terminal use (robomongo or Ubuntu)?
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.json
Arguments should be self-explanatory.
-h hostname

I don't have enough points to comment on Varun's answer, but if you use export jsonArray and then import using Robo3T (Robomongo), make sure to remove the commas in between the objects, as well as remove the square brackets.
It's not really a JSON format that ROBO 3T accepts, but rather bunch of JSON objects separated by newlines.
(if you use export Standard, then it's already formatted for document insert)
if this is not a bson, and only json, you can use mongoimport --jsonArray . refference Insert json file into mongodb
RoboMongo is just the UI for your mongod which is the primary daemon process for the MongoDB system.
The only option to import from RoboMongo is
Right Click on Collection -> Insert Document
Apart from this you can import using the mongoimport command from terminal.
Open terminal and type mongo
Now in mongo interactive shell
Use the following command to import the json file as collection
mongoimport -d database_name -c collection_name --file < path to the
json file
Tested :
mongoimport --jsonArray -d <DataBase Name> -c <Collection Name> --file /path/to/my/fileThatIwantToImport.json
It works very well!
Insert Document will insert all the JSON file data under a single document.
Apparently the tool does not support JSON import.
There are two ways to import the database into MongoDB. one is with robomongo/Robo 3T and one is with a shell command. I always choose the second method due to fewer and easy steps.
FIRST METHOD
Install MongoDB on your machine. Also, check it was installed properly or not by using mongod command on your terminal. So, for importing a new DB on your MongoDB write this command on your terminal
mongostore -host <HostIp | 127.0.0.1> -port <mongoPort | 27017> -db <DBname> <Directory-path>
So, for example you’re running MongoDB on local machine with default port i.e 27017 and your DB files are store at /usr/library/userDatabase then write this command and check DB is imported in your MongoDB
mongostore -host 127.0.0.1 -port 27017 -db userDatabase /usr/library/userDatabase
For more details check this article.
Import MongoDB using shell and robomongo/Robo 3T
I have lots of bson files in the following path:
c:/mongodb/bin/dump/Sid
If I run the command:
> mongorestore --db Sid --drop dump/Sid
I get the following error:
Mon Mar 26 14:36:36 SyntaxError: missing ; before statement (shell):1
What is the problem with my command?
From your input, it appears as though you are attempting to run mongorestore from inside the JS shell.
Mongorestore is a standalone application, and is run directly from the terminal.
The following will not work:
c:\mongodb-win32-x86_64-2012-03-20\bin>mongo.exe
MongoDB shell version: 2.1.1-pre-
connecting to: test
> mongorestore --db test --drop \dump\test
Mon Mar 26 11:29:13 SyntaxError: missing ; before statement (shell):1
>
If you run mongorestore directly from the terminal you should be successful:
c:\mongodb-win32-x86_64-2012-03-20\bin>mongorestore --db test --drop \dump\test
connected to: 127.0.0.1
... (truncated for brevity) ...
c:\mongodb-win32-x86_64-2012-03-20\bin>
The documentation on Mongodump / mongorestore may be found in the "Import Export Tools" documentation:
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Import+Export+Tools
mongorestore is not a command , it an executable in the bin directory of MongoDB.
Below is the quote from http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongorestore/
The mongorestore program writes data from a binary database dump
created by mongodump to a MongoDB instance. mongorestore can create a
new database or add data to an existing database.
If you already have a mongod instance running
where you already specified the dbpath as
mongod --dbpath "..\mongodb\data"
you can directly run the mongorestore command .
mongorestore ..\data\dump
You can't use mongorestore command like this...
You have to run this via cmd and not on Mongo Shell... Have a look at below command...
>path\to\mongorestore.exe -d dbname -c collection_name path\to\same\collection.bson
Here path\to\mongorestore.exe is path of mongorestore.exe inside bin folder of mongodb.
dbname is name of databse. collection_name is name of collection.bson.
path/to/same/collection.bson is the path up to that collection.
Now from mongo shell you can verify that database is created or not (If it does not exist, database with same name will be created with collection).
If you want to restore the outside database then copy that database in
<pre>C:\database drive(Create a folder database and copy your database) ,then follow the steps
1)c:\> cd database
2)c:\database>dir
3)c:\database>"\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin\mongorestore.exe"
now open robomongo and check it will contain the restored dbs.. or check on command prompt show dbs</pre>
