Re^2: How to get collection schema from mongo using perl

Thanks for reply. My dead line is very near. I almost there. In my previous program I manually written all the collection(table) names into my program. But my mentor told that to get how many collections & collection names from DB through program.

Thanks for reply. My dead line is very near. I almost there. In my previous program I manually create a template with column names and inserting data into it. its working properly. But my mentor told to get collection schema from data base instead of writing template. Please help me with this. Ok, I'll give it a shot So site:https://docs.mongodb.org/ introspection site:https://docs.mongodb.org/ collection schema site:https://docs.mongodb.org/ retrieve schema site:https://docs.mongodb.org/ query schema So basically, it says while collections have similar schemas, schemas aren't actually enforced, so there is no way to retrieve a "schema" -- it doesn't exist You can however retrieve every single document ( http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.collection.find/ ) So does that help or clarify anything? If I had a deadline I'd ask mentor for help :)	[reply]
