An `Mongo::Connection` instance represents a connection to MongoDB. You use a Connection instance to obtain an Mongo:DB instance, which represents a named database. The database doesn't have to exist - if it doesn't, MongoDB will create it for you.

You can optionally specify the MongoDB server address and port when connecting. The following example shows three ways to connect to the database "mydb" on the local machine:
|
connection = Mongo::Connection.new # (optional host/port args)
|
||||||
|
connection = Mongo::Connection.new("localhost")
|
||||||
db = Mongo::Connection.new.db("mydb")
|
connection = Mongo::Connection.new("localhost", 27017)

db = Mongo::Connection.new("localhost").db("mydb")
|
|
||||||
db = Mongo::Connection.new("localhost", 27017).db("mydb")
|
|
||||||
|
|

At this point, the `db` object will be a connection to a MongoDB server for the specified database. Each DB instance uses a separate socket connection to the server.
