db.repairDatabase()¶

db.repairDatabase()¶: Warning

In general, if you have an intact copy of your data, such as would exist on a very recent backup or an intact member of a replica set, do not use repairDatabase or related options like db.repairDatabase() in the mongo shell or mongod --repair. Restore from an intact copy of your data.

Note

When using journaling, there is almost never any need to run repairDatabase. In the event of an unclean shutdown, the server will be able restore the data files to a pristine state automatically.

db.repairDatabase() provides a wrapper around the database command repairDatabase, and has the same effect as the run-time option mongod --repair option, limited to only the current database. See repairDatabase for full documentation.
