com.mongodb.DB

@ThreadSafe
public class DB
extends java.lang.Object

A thread-safe client view of a logical database in a MongoDB cluster. A DB instance can be achieved from a MongoClient instance using code like:

 
 MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient();
 DB db = mongoClient.getDB("<db name>");
