Hi David,

Glad that fixed it, as for the mongo register function, what happens is it ties a datasource name to one database. However you must still provide a valid user with access to that database such as your admin user. So its not that it doesnt support the admin user, its that each datasource only binds to one database. For example lets say you do want access to other databases, you could continue to use the admin user (a user with easy access to all databases) but you would write several mongoRegister functions to map seperate datasources for each database you need to get to:

<cfset mongoRegister(name="firstDatabase", server="127.0.0.1", db="mongoDB1", username="admin", password="adminPassword") /> <cfset mongoRegister(name="secondDatabase", server="127.0.0.1", db="mongoDB2", username="admin", password="adminPassword") /> <cfset mongoRegister(name="thirdDatabase", server="127.0.0.1", db="mongoDB3", username="admin", password="adminPassword") />

Im not sure if that answers your question, or I may have misunderstood and you are really having user login issues with the admin user for certain databases. But as you say that user does have access on other mongo browser tools then it should have the same ability here, its just that you need to map the databases to different datasources.

Hope this helps,

Jamie MacDonald.

Thanks, that solved it, I copied the line from http://www.openbd.org/manual/?/database_mongodb which apparently is outdated?/incorrect in that case. (I expected something with my setup to be wrong rather than with the code)

Concerning the second question, with the admin user (created in the admin database) I can't directly login on any other database expect the admin database, however in jMongoBrowser (GUI for mongoDB) I can use the account to browse all databases, so it definitely has the necessary priviliges (as per the docs (admin database users have read/write priviliges to all databases)). I assumed that the way to solve this was to log into the admin database first and next switch to another database, but it could also mean the mongoregister function doesn't support admin users?

Hi David,

The documentation for the mongoCollectionFind function is here http://www.openbd.org/manual/?/function/mongocollectionfind and it looks like you have missed a parameter to keep things in order, I believe this should fix it:

<cfset results = MongoCollectionFind("mongo", "mycoll", {age: {"$gte": 40}}, {}, 0, 10) />

The first structure is the "where" arguments, and the second structure would be fields you wish to bring back, but since you want all of them you should be able to pass a blank structure for that.

For your second question I think you may just need to register 2 mongo datasources, as that is what currently defines the database to use. I dont think that assignment can be changed on the fly BUT you could simply delete old datasources when you no longer need them and create new ones:

Experimenting with mangodb quickly gave me an error page without any specific error message (see attachment (the code is visible in the attachment as well)). Anybody any idea what's wrong with it?

(And a second question, how can you use the "use databasename" command from coldfusion, because I want to login (on development at least) with an admin user, but the admin user is (if I understand is correctly) specific for the admin database and can next write to all other databases, so I need to login on the admin database first and next switch to another one.)
