Python MongoDB Drop Collection
Delete Collection
You can delete a table, or collection as it is called in MongoDB, by using
the drop() method.
Example
Delete the "customers" collection:
import pymongo
myclient = pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")
mydb = myclient["mydatabase"]
mycol = mydb["customers"]
mycol.drop()
Run example »
The drop() method returns true if the collection was dropped successfully,
and false if the collection does not exist.
