db.dropDatabase()¶
On this page
Behavior¶
The db.dropDatabase() wraps the dropDatabase command.
Warning
This command obtains a global write lock and will block other operations until it has completed.
Changed in version 2.6: This command does not delete the users associated with the current database. To drop the associated users, run the dropAllUsersFromDatabase command in the database you are deleting.
