I’m enjoying the pretty amazing MongoDB in Rails by using Mongomapper but I am having problems removing records.

What is the accepted way of removing records, and also removing a whole document?

I tried using Stuff.destroy_all but it seems to crash the web server.

Sorry, that’s not well documented. I’m opening an issue for that.

See the class methods and instance methods.

my_doc.destroy    # fires callbacks
my_doc.delete     # no callbacks, just removes it from the database
MyDoc.destroy_all # fires callbacks, shouldn't crash...!
MyDoc.delete_all  # no callbacks
MyDoc.destroy("b965105ea203368234636df2", "368234636df21c64f05358a4")
MyDoc.delete("b965105ea203368234636df2", "368234636df21c64f05358a4")
