How to Drop all the indexes in a Collection using PyMongo?

Prerequisites: MongoDB and Python With the help of drop_indexes() method we can drop all the indexes in a Collection. No parameter is passed in the method. Only default index _id can not be deleted. All the Non _id indexes will be the drop by this method. It means we can only drop the index which we have created. Syntax:

db.collection_name.drop_indexes()

Sample database used: By default, each collection has the _id index. All collections compulsorily have at least one index. If all indexes are removed, then a new index will be automatically generated. We can see the indexes present by running the following command: Now, we can run the following code to add a new Index called newIndex to the collection, given that the mongo server is running: Example 1: Adding an Index to the Collection Python3 1==

import pprint 
import pymongo 
  
# connection 
try: 
    client = pymongo.MongoClient() 
    db = client['GFG'] 
    print('connection to the server established') 
      
except Exception: 
    print('Failed to Connect to server') 

collection = db.lecture 

# creating an index 
resp = collection.create_index("l_id") 
  
# printing the auto generated name  
# returned by MongoDB 
print(resp) 
  
# index_information() is analogous  
# to getIndexes 
pprint.pprint(collection.index_information()) 

Output: Example 2: Deleting the Index from the Collection Python3 1==

import pprint 
import pymongo 

  
try: 
    client = pymongo.MongoClient() 
    db = client['GFG'] 
    print('connection to the server established') 

except Exception: 
    print('Failed to Connect to server') 

collection = db.lecture 
  
# dropping the index using autogenerated 
# name from MongoDB 
collection.drop_indexes() 
  
# printing the indexes present on the collection 
pprint.pprint(collection.index_information()) 

Output:
