mongodb - Is this a valid mongo command format? db.[database].[collection].find() -

i use mongohub of queries. noticed generates mongo command when fill out search criteria.

for example, generate this:

db.mydatabase.mycollection.find().sort({ "_id": 1}).skip(0).limit(30)

when type db.mydatabase.mycollection.find() mongo shell command, nothing returned. (no error message generated either).

if instead type:

{ use mydatabase db.mycollection.find() }

then results back.

anyone know how mongo interprets db.[???].[????].find()?

db.[???].[????].find()

actually creates sub collection using notation, example:

> db.gt.gf.insert({g:1}) > show collections gt.gf system.indexes

so though valid might not looking for.
