Numeric Collection Name Remove

Question

How can you drop a numeric collection from MongoDB?

PRIMARY> db.123456789011.remove({}); Tue Mar 20 08:42:51 SyntaxError: missing ; before statement (shell):1 PRIMARY> db.123456789011.drop({}); Tue Mar 20 08:43:13 SyntaxError: missing ; before statement (shell):1

Was created through a PHP script.. now I can't figure out how to remove this..

Thoughts?

Thank you

This should work:

 db["123456789011"].drop()

I was having the same issue with a collection generated by a java class

db["1234"].drop() Wed Jul 9 14:57:39.358 TypeError: Cannot call method 'drop' of undefined

and at the end used the following command to remove it.

db.getCollection('1234').drop()
