如何断开mongodb数据库连接_持续打开MongoDB数据库连接

In so many introductory examples of using MongoDB, you see code like this:

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;

MongoClient.connect("mongodb://localhost:port/adatabase", function(err, db)

{

/* Some operation... CRUD, etc. */

db.close();

});

If MongoDB is like any other database system, open and close operations are typically expensive time-wise.

So, my question is this: Is it OK to simply do the MongoClient.connect("... once, assign the returned db value to some module global, have various functions in the module do various database-related work (insert documents into collections, update documents, etc. etc.) when they're called by other parts of the application (and thereby re-use that db value), and then, when the application is done, only then do the close.

In other words, open and close are done once - not every time you need to go and do some database-related operation. And you keep re-using that db object that was returned during the initial open\connect, only to dispose of it at the end, with the close, when you're actually done with all your database-related work.

Obviously, since all the I/O is asynch, before the close you'd make sure that the last database operation completed before issuing the close. Seems like this should be OK, but i wanted to double-check just in case I'm missing something as I'm new to MongoDB. Thanks!

Yes, that is fine and typical behavior. start your app, connect to db, do operations against the db for a long time, maybe re-connect if the connection ever dies unexpectedly, and then just never close the connection (just rely on the automatic close that happens when your process dies).
