Need to be able to create collections that start with "system", contain '$', and keys containing '.' and other characters that are illegal. |

Tad, that just gets used to disable quotas for system collections... shhh... don't tell anyone. There is also a test to disable dropping system collections, but that can also be bypassed via a rename first. Anyway, not sure on exact use-case but most checks are in place for a good reason. |

There is code that checks for ".system." ... see namespacestring.h routine "special()" for example. |

The driver enforces the document restrictions, not the server. Also, there is nothing keeping you from creating collections with "system" at the start, or anywhere in, the name. The "$" is used for namespaces to indicate indexes and I can't think of a reason anyone would need to, or be able to, create a collection with it in there. Either way you can easily escape/replace anything you want in the app/program code. |
