Question

How can I use mongodump to move a single collection from one database to another?

How should I use the command and its options?

Answer 1

Very basic commands for dump mongodb.

1. Dump all collection

   mongodump
   

2. Dump specific database only

   mongodump --db=DB_NAME
   

3. Dump database with username & password

   mongodump -u=USERNAME -p=PASSWORD --db=DB_NAME
   

4. Dump from another host

   mongodump --host HOST_NAME/HOST_IP --port HOST_PORT  --out {YOUR_DIRECTOTY_PATH} --db=DB_NAME
   

Only able to dump from another host when they allow it.
