mongodb - command 'show collection' doesn't show anything

Question

I switched my db properly and also confirmed that there is a document in my collection but I cannot find any collection by 'show collection' command.

Can I know the reason?

Please check your Mongo shell version and MongoDB version are compatible.

Refer to this JIRA ticket which has the similar issue reported. The root cause of the problem was the Mongo shell version and MongoDB version were not compatible.

To get Mongo Shell version:-

Go to the bin folder and execute mongo command which will print the Mongo shell version in the first line.

To get MongoDB version:-

db.version()
