Do any visual tools exist for MongoDB (for Windows)?

Question

I'm currently using MongoDB in a reporting system and have to delete a whole bunch of test documents. While I don't have too much trouble using the JSON-based command-line tools, it gets extremely tedious to have to keep searching for documents, copy-and-pasting OIDs, etc., especially from a command prompt window (ever tried to "mark" text that wraps multiple lines?)

A quick Google search didn't turn up much (just a Mac tool), but I thought I'd ask here.

I realize that there's unlikely to be anything even close to SQL Server Management Studio in terms of the feature set, but is there anything at least similar? Just something that will allow me to visually inspect the databases and collections, perform some simple CRUD tasks and manage multiple scripts in a proper window (not a DOS prompt)?

If not, is there a work in progress anywhere? I might even be willing to contribute if I knew what I was looking for, but I can't even seem to find a hint of a germ of an inkling that somebody might be thinking about building something like this for Windows.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Answer 1

There is a web-based project for this that is relatively early on called Pongo. It requires installing Python and some dependencies, but it should run on Windows.

Answer 2

If you're able to run PHP scripts you can give PHP MongoDB Admin a try. It's a single PHP script that gives you basic management and searching functionality.

MongoVUE isn't available for download yet, but it looks promising.

Answer 4

The real answer is ... No.

So far as I have found there is no reasonable or publicly available Windows MonogoDB client which is really very sad since MongoDB is pretty sweet.

I've thought about throwing together a simple app with WPF on Codeplex ... but I haven't been super motivated.

What would features would you be interested in having? Maybe you can inspire me or others?

For example, do you just want to view DBs / collections & perhaps simple edits (so you don't have to use the shell) or do you require something more complex?
