Check if Database exists

[fivesand]

Hi Sam,

How can I check if a database exists?
I have tried using getDB as follows

    $test = Yii::app()->mongodb->getDB('thisshouldnotexist');
    print_r($test);

I get the same result if I use the same code for any existing DB:

    MongoDB Object ( [w] => 1 [wtimeout] => 10000 )

Please advise

Regards,
Ron

Unfortauntely special commands are required to check database existance, here is a JS edition: https://gist.github.com/david-torres/8450526 , basically ou need to to run listdatabases() and then iterate that result for find if your database is in there.
