Please help me is this possible and how You can always write some shell scripts. colls=( mycoll1 mycoll2 mycoll5 ) for c in ${colls[@]} do mongoimport -d mydb -c $c.json done romaninsh I came up with a more elegant way to automatically

Trying to import a CSV with contact information: Name,Address,City,State,ZIP Jane Doe,123 Main St,Whereverville,CA,90210 John Doe,555 Broadway Ave,New York,NY,10010 Running this doesn't seem to add any documents to the database: $ mongoimport -d mydb -c things --type csv --file locations.csv --headerline Trace says imported 1 objects , but firing up the Mongo shell and running db.things.find() doesn't show any new documents. What am I missing? Your example worked for me with MongoDB 1.6.3 and 1.7.3. Example below was for 1.7.3. Are you using an older version of MongoDB? $ cat > locations.csv
