Meteor,db is not defined error mongodb

Question

I am using meteor.JS to develop simple app and i have some problem here.

In my app i defined collection like below and i published it from server side and subscribed it in client side

Product_Mobiles=new Meteor.Collection('product_mobiles');

while running the app in one terminal,from the other terminal i imported JSON file data to collection like

mongoimport --db meteor --host localhost:3002 --collection Product_Mobiles <products.json --jsonArray

that imports the objects well and my problem is,

when i try to call

db.Product_Mobile.find({});

this showing error db is not defined. that command is working well in meteor mongo shell and returning results.

But when i try this in JS file and while running the app it is showing db not defined and i tried to remove the db and run like

Product_Mobile.find({});(which i did to all my remaining collections and those are working well).

This is also showing error like Product_Mobile is not defined Am i doing anything wrong? Help me with this.

You should use the collection name you defined with Product_Mobiles=new Meteor.Collection('product_mobiles');

So you should use product_mobiles when you import something.

Additionally in meteor the commands aren't exactly the same as the mongo shell. You would use Product_Mobiles.find() instead, since you defined it earlier on. The db object is only something thats available in the mongo shell.
