I’ve exported the database on the server using mongodump command and dump is stored in .bson file. I need to import that in my local server using mongorestore command.
It’s very simple to import a .bson file:
mongorestore -d db_name -c collection_name /path/file.bson
Incase only for a single collection. Try this:
mongorestore --drop -d db_name -c collection_name /path/file.bson
For restoring the complete folder exported by mongodump:
mongorestore -d db_name /path/
