db.getSiblingDB(database) in mongoDB

getSiblingDB(database)

This method is used to return another database without modifying the db variable in the shell environment.

We can also use db.getSiblingDB() as an alternative to the use <database> helper.

Note:

This is particularly useful when writing scripts using the mongo shell where the use helper is not available.

Syntax:

db.getSiblingDB(database)

Example

MongoDB

db.getSiblingDB('admin')

Output:

admin
