在Windows中将数据从.csv文件导入到mongodb数据库中

Question

I have mongodb running in remote ubuntu server say IP:192.168.2.10 and Port:27017 . I access mongodb through mongoose and node.js . Now I want to import data from .csv to mongodb . I know about mongoImport but I have no idea how to use it from windows and where to start in windows . I have installed node.js and mongoose using npm in my windows system. I read about mongoImport says it should run from command prompt. In windows cmd prompt when I run

mongoimport --host 192.168.2.10 --port 27017 --collection Attributes --db Master --file <P:\Attributes.csv 

I get this error.

ReferenceError: mongoimport is not defined

Should I install mongodb in windows, I don't think so. What should I do?

Answer 1

The primary mistake people do is try to import the csv file by issuing the mongoimport command while they are inside mongo Shell. The correct way of doing it is outside mongo shell. And ensure that you have the binary that you are trying to execute. In this case it is "mongoimport".

Answer 2

Yes you will have to get mongodb executable in windows.

After getting that, go to the bin directory in your mongodb installation and you will find the mongoimport.exe there.

Execute your command from there.
