Convert Collection to Capped in MongoDB


To convert collection to capped, use runCommand(). It provides a helper to run specified database commands. Let us first create a collection with documents −

> db.demo416.insertOne({"StudentName":"David"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e723a7bb912067e57771adf")
}
> db.demo416.insertOne({"StudentName":"Mike"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e723a81b912067e57771ae0")
}
> db.demo416.insertOne({"StudentName":"Sam"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e723a84b912067e57771ae1")
}

Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo416.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e723a7bb912067e57771adf"), "StudentName" : "David" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e723a81b912067e57771ae0"), "StudentName" : "Mike" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e723a84b912067e57771ae1"), "StudentName" : "Sam" }

Following is the query to convert Collection to Capped −

> db.runCommand( { convertToCapped: 'demo416', size: 100} );
{ "ok" : 1 }

Following is the query to show details −

> db.demo416.stats();

This will produce the following output −
