> db.publisherscollection.insert(apress)
Once you add the publisher's information, you're ready to add an actual document (for example, a book's
information) into the media collection. The following example adds a document, specifying Apress as the name of
the publisher:
> book = ( { "Type" : "Book", "Title" : "Definitive Guide to MongoDB 2nd ed., The",
"ISBN" : "987-1-4302-5821-6", "Publisher" : "Apress","Author" : ["Hows, David",""Plugge,
Eelco","Membrey,Peter",Hawkins, Tim"] } )
{
"Type" : "Book",
"Title" : "Definitive Guide to MongoDB 2nd ed., The",
"ISBN" : "987-1-4302-5821-6",
"Publisher": "Apress",
"Author" : [
"Hows, David"
"Membrey, Peter",
"Plugge, Eelco",
" Hawkins, Tim"
]
}
> db.media.insert(book)
All the information you need has been inserted into the publisherscollection and media collections,
respectively. You can now start using the database reference. First, specify the document that contains the publisher's
information to a variable:
> book = db.media.findOne()
{
"_id" : ObjectId("4c458e848e0f00000000628e"),
"Type" : "Book",
"Title" : "Definitive Guide to MongoDB, The",
"ISBN" : "987-1-4302-3051-9",
"Publisher" : "Apress",
"Author" : [
"Hows, David"
"Membrey, Peter",
"Plugge, Eelco",
"Hawkins, Tim"
]
