Understanding MongoDB Databases
- MongoDB databases store collections, which are groups of MongoDB documents.
- MongoDB documents are the basic unit of data in MongoDB.
- MongoDB is schema–less which means that documents in a collection do not need to have the same structure or fields.
- MongoDB supports indexes on collections, which can improve query performance by allowing MongoDB to quickly locate documents based on indexed fields.
- MongoDB supports multi–document transactions, allowing for multiple operations to be grouped and executed atomically.
