对数据库进行管理和操作的基本命令，可以从上面获取到。如果想要得到更多，而且每个命令的详细用法，可以使用上面列出的db.listCommands()查询。

另一个比较基础的是对指定数据库的集合进行操作、管理和监控，可以通过查询db.mycoll.help()获取到：

> db.mycoll.help()

    db.mycoll.copyTo(newColl) - duplicates collection by copying all documents to newColl; no indexes are copied.
    db.mycoll.convertToCapped(maxBytes) - calls {convertToCapped:'mycoll', size:maxBytes}} command
    db.mycoll.createIndex(keypattern[,options])
