Someone asked for my help to upload some .csv files to the MongoDB database and backup the database before sending the file to the next person. I completed the task with the command below. It imports a .csv file to the selected database and collection by specifying the file type, location and whether the file has a headerline. It runs for both Linux and Windows’ machines using the terminal or command prompt.
mongoimport -d mydb -c things --type csv --file locations.csv --headerline
