Hi,

I have currently installed mongodb on windows. I had create an collection with numeric name 12345. When i try to execute query on collection 12345

db.12345.find()

it shows me error: SyntaxError: Unexpected number

After some search i came with working solution

db['12345'].find()

Now it is showing me error TypeError: Cannot call method 'find' of undefined

What is the problem ? Should i use non numeric collection as non numeric collection showing me problem

Thanks in advance

Try this syntax:

db.getCollection("12345").find()

That should work if the collection exists in that db.
