Can anyone explain why when I run the mongo shell it is “connecting to: test”?

By default, just running mongo will enter the shell and connect to the “test” database. Typing db into the shell should return test
> db
test
You can switch databases, with the use command:
> use admin
switched to db admin
> db
admin
Checkout the MongoDB docs on getting started with the mongo shell.

Thanks. That makes sense. I as thinking it was something else. So Mongo always has a test DB for each server?
