  • Usually it's `mongoimport` that people do this with. But it's the same reason and even added to the [official documentation](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongodump/) because apparently enough of you still do it: *"Run mongodump from the system command line, not the mongo shell."* – Neil Lunn Nov 16 '17 at 08:15
  • Thanks for the reply @NeilLunn i will try mongoimport – JEFFIN FRANCIS Nov 16 '17 at 08:43
  • Umm. That's not the point. The point is you are trying to do the "inside the mongo shell" and you are not meant to do that. Go stick the manual page into a language translator and read it. – Neil Lunn Nov 16 '17 at 08:44
  • yeah i got it no shell :) – JEFFIN FRANCIS Nov 16 '17 at 08:46
