mongodb: how to remove all data from collection?

[hh4e]

I need to remove all the data from certain collection.

anybody knows how to perform this line using mongoTemplate:

>db.myCollection.remove({});

i know there's a remove method but it needs a query, and i dont know how to create an empty query that selects all the documents in the collection.

is it ok to call:

mongoTemplate.dropCollection("myCollection");

[johannz]

mongoTemplate.remove(new Query(), "collectionName");

is the simplest way.
