How to get all the collections from all the MongoDB databases?


To get all the collections from all the databases, let us first get all the databases using the following query

> switchDatabaseAdmin = db.getSiblingDB("admin");
admin
> allDatabaseName = switchDatabaseAdmin.runCommand({ "listDatabases": 1 }).databases;

This will produce the following output

[
   {
      "name" : "admin",
      "sizeOnDisk" : 495616,
      "empty" : false
   },
   {
      "name" : "config",
      "sizeOnDisk" : 98304,
      "empty" : false
   },
   {
      "name" : "local",
      "sizeOnDisk" : 73728,
      "empty" : false
   },
   {
      "name" : "sample",
      "sizeOnDisk" : 1335296,
      "empty" : false
   },
   {
      "name" : "sampleDemo",
      "sizeOnDisk" : 278528,
      "empty" : false
   },
   {
      "name" : "studentSearch",
      "sizeOnDisk" : 262144,
      "empty" : false
   },
   {
      "name" : "test",
      "sizeOnDisk" : 8724480,
      "empty" : false
   }
]

Following is the query to get all the collection names from databases

> allDatabaseName.forEach(function(databaseName)
... {
...    db = db.getSiblingDB(databaseName.name);
...    collectionName = db.getCollectionNames();
...    collectionName.forEach(function(collectionName)
...    {
...       print(collectionName);
...    });
... });
