how to delete a collection in mongodb which has space in between its name i.e.'Coimbatore Express'?

Question

this code will show the error am facing the collection which am trying to delete is 'Coimbatore Express' and problem is I have a space between Coimbatore & Express.

Answer 1

Either try using a dot(.) operator to replace the space.

db.Coimbatore.Express.drop() 

Or alternatively as mentioned in the documentation use getCollection as:

db.getCollection("Coimbatore Express").drop()
