Execute commands

The commands are divided into two sub-types. Those that operate directly on the selected database, and those that operate on a collection of the selected database. For more information, see:

• Database commands

• Collection commands

Generally the commands follow the structure of commands in the MongoDB shell. However, there are some cases where extra input and output options are limited. Commands may accept arguments of

• STRING (double or single qoutes)

• BSON (less restrictive JSON)

• [ BSON, ...] (a collection of BSON).
