      The string representation of DBRef only shows the $ref and $id but not the $db. This could lead to confusion if the DBRef references a different database.

      > db.halloa.find({"name" : "dukur"})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("519e5c065ef254863b9051c6"), "name" : "dukur", "myref" : DBRef("people", "5191cc6684ae75ea07e4ef3b") }
> z=db.halloa.find({"name" : "dukur"}).toArray()[0]
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("519e5c065ef254863b9051c6"),
    "name" : "dukur",
    "myref" : DBRef("people", "5191cc6684ae75ea07e4ef3b")
}
> z.myref.$id
5191cc6684ae75ea07e4ef3b
> z.myref.$ref
people
> z.myref.$db
