In MongoDB, a namespace refers to a combination of a database name and a collection name. The namespace uniquely identifies a specific collection within a specific database. It follows the format “database_name.collection_name”. For example, if you have a database named “mydatabase” and a collection named “mycollection,” the namespace for that collection would be “mydatabase.mycollection.”
The namespace is commonly used in various MongoDB commands and operations to specify the target collection or database. Understanding namespaces is essential when working with MongoDB to interact with and manage data at the database and collection levels.
