如何使用 Python 在 Mongo 中创建数据库？

Question

I have written the below Python program to create a MongoDB.

import pymongo

myclient = pymongo.MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017/')

mydb = myclient['mydatabase']

dblist = myclient.list_database_names()

if "mydatabase" in dblist:
  print("The database exists.")
else :
  print("The database does not exists.")

But while I execute the program, I get the result as

The database does not exists.

Why so? Is there something that I am missing?

I am following the code mentioned in W3Schools Tutorial

Answer 1

In MongoDB the database is not actually created until you put some data into it, try put a document inside and check again.

Important: In MongoDB, a database is not created until it gets content!

Answer 2

Databases are lazily created. Insert something into a collection in that database and they (database/collection) will spring into existence.
