# Where to define a name-space for collections?
- Provide the name-space after collection name using the keyword
under
For example, in order define Address collection under a namespace emp:
collection Address under emp {
property line1:String
property line2:String?
property city:String
property state:String
}
- run command
compile
Note: This creates a collection on mongo server with name <namespace>.<collection>. For example, in this case the address collection name under lottery db would be emp.address
