10,684 PointsIs there some visual program that allows me to look at my mongo database like mqSQL or is mongo shell the only option?
Something like mqSQL maybe. Where you can just click on whatever you want to see and do as opposed to mongo shell where you type your commands?
Was just wondering, its no big deal but it would be nice if something like that existed.
Solution: Nevermind. Mongodb Compass. Found it.

10,684 PointsOh I posted this in the mongo & express section. I like how mqSQL displays all your tables and stuff visually when you click on a database.
Mongo is a noSQL json-like technology, Im just wondering if there is some type of visual program that does something similar like mqSQL because in mongo you have to make commands like show collections and db.users.find to show documents.

The connection string is a bit more complex, because it will have your username and password as well as a url to the cluster its on, but it's not terribly difficult to set up.
