Question

wich is the difference between safe:true and safe:false in a connection with mongoskin?? and how use it?

i have a connection with mongoskin and nodejs

var db = mongo.db("root:toor@127.0.0.1:27017/cordoba");

but i dont know wich is the best practice in this case....

db.collection('usuarios').insert(campos,{safe:true}, function(err, result)

i want to insert campos in mongodb, im using safe:true... so what happends if i use safe:false, and what is the best practice ...

this...

 var db = mongo.db("root:toor@127.0.0.1:27017/cordoba");
 db.collection('usuarios').insert(campos,{safe:true}, function(err, result)

or this...

var db = mongo.db("root:toor@127.0.0.1:27017/cordoba",{safe:true});
db.collection('usuarios').insert(campos, function(err, result)

tnx all

{safe:true} assures you that the callback function will get executed only after the insertion is done and {safe:false} does not guarantee that. I always use {safe:true}, just to make sure that I have the most up to date version of the DB.
