Create a MongoDB connection to the database mongotest. Here, the database server dbtb01 hosts this database using port number 27017.

server = "dbtb01";
port = 27017;
dbname = "mongotest";
conn = mongo(server,port,dbname)

conn = 

  mongo with properties:

               Database: 'mongotest'
               UserName: ''
                 Server: {'dbtb01'}
                   Port: 27017
        CollectionNames: {'airlinesmall', 'employee', 'largedata' ... and 3 more}
         TotalDocuments: 23485919

conn is the mongo object that contains the MongoDB connection. The object properties contain information about the connection and the database.

Verify the MongoDB connection.

isopen(conn)

ans =

  logical

   1

The database connection is successful because the isopen function returns 1. Otherwise, the database connection is closed.

Create a collection in the database using the MongoDB connection. Specify the collection name taxidata.

collection = "taxidata";
createCollection(conn,collection)

Display the collections in the database by using the CollectionNames property. The database contains the new collection taxidata.

conn.CollectionNames

ans =

  1×7 cell array

  Columns 1 through 5

    {'airlinesmall'}    {'employee'}    {'largedata'}    {'nyctaxi'}    {'product'}

  Columns 6 through 7

    {'restaurants'}    {'taxidata'}

Close the MongoDB connection.

close(conn)
