How to clear/drop/empty a MongoDb collection with Casbah

Question

I started using MongoDb in Scala via Casbah but cannot find on the Casbah documentation / google the way to drop the content of a collection. The MongoDd doc says the MongoDb shell command to do so is

db.things.remove({});

But how can we achieve the same via Casbah?

Thanks in advance,

Olivier

Excuse my nitpicking, but it's called a collection in MongoDB, not a table. I took the freedom to edit your question accordingly. — Philipp, Sep 06 '12 at 07:35

Casbah's equivalent to the shells {} empty document operator is `MongoDBObject.empty

This should work -

db.things.remove(MongoDBObject.empty)
