If you have many collections, it can be a bit of a hassle since <a href="http://docs.mongodb.org/v2.2/reference/mongoexport/">mongoexport</a> requires you to specify each field you want to be exported with the <code>--fields</code> attribute and you have to do it for each collection seperately.</p> <p>Here&rsquo;s a little bash script that will do the work for you.</p> <script src="https://gist.github.com/mderazon/8201991.js"></script> <p>Result is a <code>.csv</code> file for each collection you have in your db.</p>
