For MongoDB API drivers, refer to the language-specific MongoDB driver documentation.
db.getMongo()Returns: The current database connection. db.getMongo()runs when the shell initiates. Use this command to test thatmongoshhas a connection to the proper database instance.

db.getMongo().setSecondaryOk(), which is not available in
mongosh. In mongosh, use
Mongo.setReadPref() instead.
