I am trying to create a new database using mongo. (not a collection in the current database like the result of use "newDBname" ) Does anyone know how to do so?
An example in c# would be appreciated.
have a great day

according to doc, there is no such explicit operation/query, the database will be created implicitly when you will first time query to it if it wasn't created before. In c# it will be:
var database = client.GetDatabase("db_name"); // on this step, the server doesn't know that you want to create db_name
database.ListCollections(null, CancellationToken.None); // the database will be created only after running query, for example "ListCollections"

You're right this is the correct way to do it. Additional in my case the actual problem was that I did it async way and I inserted the data before the new db created
With mongoose ? If you're using mongoose, create a new schema for new collection.
After launch your backend, the new collection should be create.
