Truncate a Mongo DB Collection from Java

Question

Is there a single method from MongoDB Java driver which deletes all documents in a collection ? so far I've only been able to do this by browsing a cursor and calling delete on each Document. Thanks

use the `collection.drop()` method on the `DBCollection` object. — chridam, Mar 31 '15 at 14:33

You can use :

MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient();
DB db = mongoClient.getDB("dbName");
DBCollection myCollection = db.getCollection("collectionName");
myCollection.drop();
