The bios Example CollectionΒΆ

The bios collection provides example data for experimenting with MongoDB. Many of this guide’s examples on insert, update and read operations create or query data from the bios collection.

The following documents comprise the bios collection. In the examples, the data might be different, as the examples themselves make changes to the data.
