I have a collecton named \"sample\" and database named \"at\" present in Mongo DB .
db.sample.find().pretty()
{
\"
Or if that doesn't work try this approach.
If there is NO db or data folders in \bin folder, create them.
Then open a new terminal and run:
for example - "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\mongo.exe"
Leave this terminal open and minimize it.
Now open another terminal and run:
for example -"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\mongod.exe"
Leave open and minimize as well. Now open one more terminal and navigate to your
mongodb folder: for example "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin"
Once in the correct filepath run whatever mongo commands you want but instead of
mongoexport try this ./mongoexport
Hopefully, this may help someone.
You should be able to run a command like:
./mongoexport -h YOUR.mlab.com:PORT -d YOUR-DB-NAME -c -u -p -o
Or for the entire DB use:
./mongodump -h YOUR.mlab.com:PORT -d YOUR-DB-NAME -u ADMIN-USER -p PASSWORD -o C:\Luke\I\Am\Your\Father\DestinationOfAllCollections
