mongo
use mydb
db.createCollection("things")
db.things.insert( { id: 1, name: "Document1" } )

Building the sample

The sample data service named MongoDBSample should be deployed using the instructions in the Samples Setup section.

Follow the steps below to demonstrate this functionality using the TryIt tool:

1. Log in to the management console of your server and click List under Services in the navigator. The MongoDBSample will be listed here.
2. Click Try this service to open the TryIt tool.
3. Select the relevant operation and click Send to execute the commands as shown below.
   • Invoking the operation 'mongo_insert' to insert a document
