      Original summary

      mongorestore --db option not working as documented

      Description

      The documentation for mongorestore dictates that you use --db to specify which database to restore data into. However, if you ie. use mongodump --db=A and then mongorestore --db=B to restore, nothing will be created. You have to specify the same database name as used in the dump.
