You can add and remove databases, as well as view information about them.

Getting a list of cluster databases

  1. Go to the folder page and select Managed Service for MongoDB.
  2. Click on the name of the cluster you need and select the Databases tab.

If you don't have the Yandex.Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To get a list of databases in a cluster, run the command:

$ yc managed-mongodb database list
     --cluster-name <cluster name>

You can query the cluster name with the list of clusters in the folder.

To get a list of cluster databases, use the list method.

Creating a database

The number of databases in a cluster is unlimited.

Note

Created databases are not available to cluster users by default. To allow a user to connect to a new database, don't forget to grant them the necessary permission.

  1. Go to the folder page and select Managed Service for MongoDB.
  2. Click on the name of the cluster you need.
  3. Select the Databases tab.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Enter a name for the database and click Add.
  6. Make sure you granted permission to the appropriate cluster user (currently only available via the CLI and API) to access the created DB.

If you don't have the Yandex.Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

Run the create database command and set the name of the new database:

$ yc managed-mongodb database create <database name>
    --cluster-name <cluster name>

Managed Service for MongoDB runs the create database operation.

You can query the cluster name with the list of clusters in the folder.

Make sure you granted permission to access the created database to the appropriate cluster user.

You can create a new database in a cluster using the create method. You can allow access to the created database using the update method.

Deleting a database

  1. Go to the folder page and select Managed Service for MongoDB.
  2. Click on the name of the cluster you need and select the Databases tab.
  3. Click in the line of the necessary DB and select Delete.

If you don't have the Yandex.Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To delete a database, run the command:

$ yc managed-mongodb database delete <database name>
     --cluster-name <cluster name>

You can query the cluster name with the list of clusters in the folder.

You can delete a database using the delete method.

Warning

Before creating a new database with the same name, wait for the delete operation to complete, otherwise the database being deleted is restored. Operation status can be obtained with a list of cluster operations.
