How to terminate a MongoDB shell script earlier?


In order to terminate a MongoDB shell script earlier, you need to use quit. Following is the syntax

quit()
quit(1)

Let us create a script and try to write quit() or quit(1) in shell. At first, we will create the following collection with documents

> db.flightInformation.insertOne({"FlightName":"Flight-1","ArrivalTime":new ISODate("2019-03-12")});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5ca1e341e941bbb0e8bf5639")
}
> db.flightInformation.insertOne({"FlightName":"Flight-2","ArrivalTime":new ISODate("2019-03-31")});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5ca1e351e941bbb0e8bf563a")
}

Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method

> db.flightInformation.find().pretty();

This will produce the following output

{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5ca1e341e941bbb0e8bf5639"),
   "FlightName" : "Flight-1",
   "ArrivalTime" : ISODate("2019-03-12T00:00:00Z")
}
{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5ca1e351e941bbb0e8bf563a"),
   "FlightName" : "Flight-2",
   "ArrivalTime" : ISODate("2019-03-31T00:00:00Z")
}
Following is the query to terminate a MongoDB shell script earlier:
> quit();

This will produce the following output
