That makes sense, because we need to specify the collection name within the 'shardCollection' command

I think the correct command is sh.enableSharding("testdb") followed by sh.shardCollection("testdb.testCollection", {"_id": 1})

But don't we also need to enable sharding on the 'testCollection' collection with '_id' as the shard key?

No, I believe it should be sh.enableSharding("testdb")

That makes sense. Enabling sharding on 'testdb' and sharding 'testCollection' with '_id' as shard key will help distribute data efficiently.

Yes, I agree with Celestine. And to shard a collection with '_id' as shard key, the command should be 'sh.shardCollection('testdb.testCollection', {_id: 1})'.

I think the correct command to enable sharding on a database 'testdb' is 'sh.enableSharding('testdb')'.
