[database] How to list all databases in the mongo shell?

I know how to list all collections in a particular database, but how do I list all available databases in MongoDB shell?

For MongoDB shell version 3.0.5 insert the following command in the shell:

db.adminCommand('listDatabases')

or alternatively:

db.getMongo().getDBNames()

Couple of commands are there to list all dbs in MongoDB shell.

first , launch Mongodb shell using 'mongo' command.

mongo

Then use any of the below commands to list all the DBs.

• show dbs
• show databases
• db.adminCommand( { listDatabases: 1 , nameOnly : true} )

For more details please check here

Thank you.

From the command line issue

mongo --quiet --eval  "printjson(db.adminCommand('listDatabases'))"

which gives output

{
    "databases" : [
        {
            "name" : "admin",
            "sizeOnDisk" : 978944,
            "empty" : false
        },
        {
            "name" : "local",
            "sizeOnDisk" : 77824,
            "empty" : false
        },
        {
            "name" : "meteor",
            "sizeOnDisk" : 778240,
            "empty" : false
        }
    ],
    "totalSize" : 1835008,
    "ok" : 1
}

For database list:

show databases
show dbs

For table/collection list:

show collections
show tables
db.getCollectionNames()

I have found one solution, where admin()/others didn't worked.

const { promisify } = require('util');
const exec = promisify(require('child_process').exec)
async function test() {
  var res = await exec('mongo  --eval "db.adminCommand( { listDatabases: 1 }         
)" --quiet')
  return { res }
}

test()
  .then(resp => {
    console.log('All dbs', JSON.parse(resp.res.stdout).databases)
  })
test()

To list mongodb database on shell

 show databases     //Print a list of all available databases.
 show dbs   // Print a list of all databases on the server.

Few more basic commands

use <db>    // Switch current database to <db>. The mongo shell variable db is set to the current database.
show collections    //Print a list of all collections for current database.
show users  //Print a list of users for current database.
show roles  //Print a list of all roles, both user-defined and built-in, for the current database.
