Local db not connected with Mongodb setup.

Leah;

I'm not understanding your question. Would you mind expanding on what the issue or question is?

I'll expand, as it happens to me too ATM

In the video : Setting up mongo DB in mongo basics course, when the instructor types show dbs in the console, it prints out local 0.0078GB indicating the local DB is connected to the folder your mongo server runs.

I'm getting 0.0000 and id like to know wether its because im on windows, or because mongodb was updated since the video or maybe even i did something wrong

thanks

Which version of MongoDB are you running? I am on Windows 10, running MongoDB 3.2 with the wiredTiger storage engine and when I run show dbs in the console I get a variety of sizes for my databases, based on the size of the database.

Several of them don't have anything, or much of anything, in them and report 0.000GB. Others that have data show the total collection size.

My guess would be that in the course, the 0.0078GB reading is due to the collection already existing with some data whereas on your local system the collection is either empty or doesn't have enough data to register in the 0.000GB reading.

Post back with further questions.

Happy coding, Ken
