Exercise

Listing databases and collections

Our MongoClient object is not actually a dictionary, so we can't call keys() to list the names of accessible databases. The same is true for listing collections of a database. Instead, we can list database names by calling .list_database_names() on a client instance, and we can list collection names by calling .list_collection_names() on a database instance.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Save a list, called db_names, of the names of the databases managed by our connected client.
  • Similarly, save a list, called nobel_coll_names, of the names of the collections managed by the "nobel" database.
