Delete Collection

You can delete a table, or collection as it is called in MongoDB, by using the drop() method.

Example

  import pymongo

myclient = pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")
  mydb = myclient["mydatabase"]
mycol = mydb["customers"]

mycol.drop()

The drop() method returns true if the collection was dropped successfully, and false if the collection does not exist.
