.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBmongoexport\fP is a utility that produces a JSON or CSV export
|
|
of data stored in a MongoDB instance. See the
|
|
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/import\-export document for a more in depth
|
|
usage overview, and the \fBmongoimport\fP document for more
|
|
information regarding the \fBmongoimport\fP utility, which
|
|
provides the inverse "importing" capability.
|
|
.SH CONSIDERATIONS
|
|
.sp
|
|
Do not use \fBmongoimport\fP and \fBmongoexport\fP for
|
|
full\-scale production backups because they may not reliably capture
|
|
data type information. Use \fBmongodump\fP and
|
|
\fBmongorestore\fP as described in http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/backups for this
|
|
kind of functionality.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.sp
|
|
Changed in version 3.0.0: \fBmongoexport\fP removed the \fB\-\-dbpath\fP as well as related
|
|
\fB\-\-directoryperdb\fP and \fB\-\-journal\fP options. You must use
|
|
\fBmongoexport\fP while connected to a \fBmongod\fP instance.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
Changed in version 3.0.0: \fBmongoexport\fP also removed support for writing data to
|
|
\fBtsv\fP files with the \fB\-\-tsv\fP option.

\fBWARNING:\fP

.INDENT 7.0

.INDENT 3.5

|
If the \fBmongo\fP shell or any other tool that connects to
|
|
\fBmongos\fP or \fBmongod\fP is run without
|
|
\fI\-\-sslCAFile\fP, it will not attempt to validate
|
|
server certificates. This results in vulnerability to expired
|
|
\fBmongod\fP and \fBmongos\fP certificates as well as to foreign
|
|
processes posing as valid \fBmongod\fP or \fBmongos\fP
|
|
instances. Ensure that you \fIalways\fP specify the CA file against which
|
|
server certificates should be validated in cases where intrusion is a

possibility.

Forces \fBmongoexport\fP to scan the data store directly:

typically, \fBmongoexport\fP saves entries as they appear in the
|
|
index of the \fB_id\fP field. Use \fI\%\-\-forceTableScan\fP to skip
|
|
the index and scan the data directly. Typically there are two cases
|
|
where this behavior is preferable to the default:
|
|
.INDENT 7.0

.IP 1. 3
|
|
If you have key sizes over 800 bytes that would not be present

in the \fB_id\fP index.

Your database uses a custom \fB_id\fP field.

When you run with \fI\%\-\-forceTableScan\fP, \fBmongoexport\fP

does not use \fB$snapshot\fP\&. As a result, the export produced

by \fBmongoexport\fP can reflect the state of the database at

many different points in time.

\fBmongoimport\fP and \fBmongoexport\fP do not reliably
|
|
preserve all rich \fIBSON\fP data types because \fIJSON\fP can
|
|
only represent a subset of the types supported by BSON. As a result,
|
|
data exported or imported with these tools may lose some measure of

|
fidelity. See the \fBExtended JSON\fP

JSON can only represent a subset of the types supported by BSON. To

preserve type information, \fBmongoexport\fP uses the \fBstrict

types.

For example, the following insert operation in the \fBmongo\fP
