Here we are in the github repository for this course
0:04
and notice we have this data section
0:06
and in here I have this thing called dealership db 250 K
0:09
that is this data that I just talked about,
0:12
with the 250 thousand cars, 100 thousand owners, that sort of thing.
0:16
So I'm going to put that over here on the desktop and unzip it
0:21
and if we look in here, you'll see that there's a cars collection and an owners collection,
0:29
and I don't believe we've spoken about how to get this data into MongoDB,
0:33
so let's go over here and I'll use RoboMongo,
0:37
notice we have these two dealership things that I have been playing with
0:42
and I want to create one called like test dealership or something to that effect.
0:46
We're going to restore this— how do we do that,
0:51
we'll go like this, we'll say mongorestore
0:55
and this is the way that we get this exported data imported into MongoDB,
1:00
now, the first thing you have to ask yourself is this additive to the database,
1:05
if it exists do you want to also insert this,
1:07
or do you want to have this be the database and replace anything it exists,
1:11
we want this one to replace existing data
1:14
so I'll say --drop and then I need to tell it what database
1:18
so I'll say db and I could say what you should say is this dealership,
1:23
but just because I don't want to wipe away what I currently have,
1:28
I'll say dealership example, but the code that you're going to run
1:31
expects the name of the database to be just a dealership;
1:34
and then I need to give it the folder that it's going to work from,
1:37
so I am just going to give it this folder like so, all right.
1:41
So mongorestore, drop to replace the data -- db to name it, and then the location,
1:46
we hit go, and it's going to go cranking away on this
1:50
and you can see it's inserting, inserting and done,
1:53
that was really fast for like close to 1.5 million records.
1:57
All right, so let's go over here and refresh
2:00
and here's our example and we can see that we have our collection,
2:03
here's our cars and we could just ask how many cars are there.
2:07
Notice, there is that many, and if we change this to owners,
2:11
remember you can also write it like this, owners like this,
2:16
Now notice, I think the restore data we got here,
2:19
you want to drop this index right here, I have it only have the id indexes, ok
2:26
so that's this example I just restored,
2:28
we're going to work with something you can imagine is exactly the same.
2:33
So we're going to work with this dealership code
2:36
but the way it got there, I'll show you the app I used to originally create it,
2:39
and then I just restored it using mongorestore just as I showed you up here.
2:43
So the way to generate the data that goes into mongorestore, you say mongo dump.
