Is there any replacment for mongo.exe? I test few available GUI environment for Mongo, unfortunately none allow executing command directly.

Is there any better tools for entering mongodb queries, that at least support Unicode characters and have a multi line editing environment? (even as simple as Notepad)

I tried PowerShell ISE, but it halt after invoking mongo.exe.

Answer 1

I found:

• Robomongo — is a shell-centric cross-platform open source MongoDB management tool (i.e. Admin GUI). Robomongo embeds the same JavaScript engine that powers MongoDB's mongo shell. Everything you can write in mongo shell — you can write in Robomongo!
• a PhpStorm plugin that provides a good unicode Monogo shell. https://github.com/dboissier/mongo4idea/

Answer 2

If you want to try out a web based tool, take a look at MongoLab. Other than hosting services, they provides a simple GUI interface to manage your DBs.

Answer 3

You can always just start python, import the pymongo driver, and run commands from there. Another benefit is that you could import more complicated python scripts you have already written and saved as .py files.
