Invoke convertToCapped and convert an existing collection to capped in MongoDB


To convert an existing collection to capped, use convertToCapped. Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo260.insertOne({"Name":"Chris"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e47b1181627c0c63e7dba9b")
}
> db.demo260.insertOne({"Name":"Bob"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e47b11c1627c0c63e7dba9c")
}
> db.demo260.insertOne({"Name":"David"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e47b11f1627c0c63e7dba9d")
}

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

> db.demo260.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e47b1181627c0c63e7dba9b"), "Name" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e47b11c1627c0c63e7dba9c"), "Name" : "Bob" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e47b11f1627c0c63e7dba9d"), "Name" : "David" }

Following is the query to invoke convertToCapped −

> db.runCommand( { convertToCapped: 'demo260', size: 8345 } );
{ "ok" : 1 }

Here is the query to check stats():

> db.demo260.stats()

This will produce the following output −
