Please, give me some startup guidance on how to use MongoDB in Kohana[v3.2].
I downloaded the Kohana Module from
Mongo Module for kohana and have set up the MongoDB driver for PHP. Now I'm trying to create a new database and to save a record into it.
You Don't actually need the MangoDB module for Kohana that you linked to. You can just use PHP's MongoDB Native Driver. The mongo query language is pretty simple, if you know some MySQL then this page would help...
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mongo.sqltomongo.php
Here is an example using the driver, it connects, starts and inserts into a new collection and then selects the all the data in the collection...
$m = new Mongo();
$db = $m->my_database;
$db->my_new_collection->insert(array("a" => 1, "b" => 1));
$found_data = $db->my_new_collection->find();

If you want to use MangoDB then I suggest reading the code and checking the kohana forums for info on it.

What have you tried so far? StackOverflow is for when you are stuck on a problem and have tried everything you can. It isn't a place to come to just because you are learning new technology and can't be bothered to do some learning by yourself
Buy a book; search the MongoDB documentation; use Google and try some things. You may surprise yourself and get things working without any help and, if you do, you will have learnt more than if you got someone else to do the hard work for you.
