# File to MongoDB

### This feature is part of MyPet-Premium!

If you want to use a MongoDB database to store your pets please download the premium version of MyPet [here](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/mypet-premium.17566/).

## Setup

First of all thank your for purchasing MyPet-Premium!

1. Put the plugin file into you plugin folder and restart the server so that the plugin can generate the new config options.
2. download this jar file ([mongo-java-driver-3.2.1.jar](https://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/mongodb/mongo-java-driver/3.2.1/mongo-java-driver-3.2.1.jar)) and put it into the MyPet folder.
3. Set the `Type` option under `Repository` to `MongoDB`.
4. If you have an old `My.Pet` file you want to import set `ConvertFrom` option under `Repository` to `NBT`.
5. replace the credentials under `MongoDB` with your own.
6. restart the server once again. It should create the tables and convert the old `My.Pets` file to database .entires.
7. You can run your server like normal but all servers you use can now access the pets from one database!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.mypet-plugin.de/legacy/tutorials/how_to_upgrade_from_file_to_mongodb.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
