Is there a sample MongoDB Database along the lines of world for MySql? [closed]

Question

As someone new to Mongo, I am looking for a sample MongoDB database that I can import and play with. Something along the lines of world for mysql or Northwind for MSSQL.

Is there one? (I couldn't find any reference to one at http://www.mongodb.org nor did my googling help)

Answer 1

I found this you can import the json data with:

mongoimport --db scratch --collection zips --file zips.json 

I guess that you can import any json data that you find, it also supports csv and tsv. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

For *NIX/Mac OS this can be done in two simple steps

wget http://media.mongodb.org/zips.json mongoimport -v --file=zips.json 

For Windows users: Please follow the following steps to import from the json file if you are using windows 7:

• Download the above mentioned JSON file and place it inside a folder (say d:\sample)
• Open a command prompt, start the mongo server by going in to the bin directory and typing in mongoD

• Now take another command prompt and go to the bin directory again and write the following command

  C:\mongodb\bin>mongoimport --db test --collection zips --file d:\sample\zips.json

• The import should start working immediately and at the end it should show something like this : Thu Dec 19 17:11:22 imported 29470 objects

That's it!
