Reset the MongoDB database

Useful for dropping development data

1. Check that the stencil database is visible

   mongo
   show dbs
   • Expect an output similar to this:

   db name	db size
   admin	0.000GB
   config	0.000GB
   local	0.000GB
   stencilDB	0.000GB

2. Make the stencilDB the active database

   use stencilDB

   switched to db stencilDB

3. Drop all data from the database

   db.dropDatabase()

   { "ok" : 1 }

4. Quit the mongo interface

   exit
