      // Creating a Mongo cpent 
      MongoCpent mongoCpent = MongoCpents.create("mongodb://localhost:27017");

      // drop the database
      database.drop();
      System.out.println("Database dropped.");
      
      // print the databases	   
      MongoIterable<String> pst = mongoCpent.pstDatabaseNames();
