From version 3.2 MongoDB starts to use WiredTiger by default. Currently Robomongo only supports MMAPv1 storage engine. Support for MongoDB 3.x storages (WiredTiger and others)įrom version 3.0 MongoDB introduces new pluggable storage architecture and the WiredTiger storage engine. According to Magic Backlog, these features are the most requested by the community. We are planning to address 7 major features in the first 6 months. A rigorous quality assurance alone requires a dedicated person. Now add to all of this cross-platform and native nature of Robomongo, and you will quickly realize how many efforts are needed to deliver this tool to your laptop with Mac/Windows/Linux of version N. Each time you decide to connect to some MongoDB cluster, you will be able to select needed version of pluggable Robomongo Engine. And such engines should be moved to separate projects. The API between Robomongo GUI and Engine should be defined. That is why one of the important features that should be implemented is a pluggable Robomongo engine: Today we bundle Robomongo with a single version of MongoDB shell and you are lucky if it supports your version of MongoDB. The current model of Robomongo distribution is also requires changes. Should we just support SpiderMonkey, V8 or both? All these mean, that significant efforts are required to support "#1 feature" of Robomongo.
Now we cannot be sure, what is a safe bet for JavaScript engine for Robomongo. But in MongoDB 3.2 SpiderMonkey is back again. Starting from the version 2.4, MongoDB began to use Google V8 engine, instead of SpiderMonkey. Even JavaScript engine, used by MongoDB, was changed twice. Integration is not as straightforward as it seems and requires changes of MongoDB source code. Each new version of MongoDB has new version of mongo shell, that should be integrated with Robomongo. The reason why such deep integration with mongo shell is not implemented in other tools - complexity. If you are new to MongoDB shell, Robomongo is the best way to learn it.
#ROBO 3T EXPORT HOW TO#
If you are familiar with MongoDB shell - then you already know how to work with Robomongo. Today we have many MongoDB administration interfaces, but Robomongo so far is the only tool that is so deeply integrated with MongoDB's mongo shell, that it even embeds it. If you open Google Trends and compare the most notable MongoDB UIs, you will get this:
In order for this to happen, we need your support!ĭespite everything, even today, Robomongo is very popular. With a focus on a single project we could really stir up Robomongo and not only solve most of current major issues, but also implement a number of important new features. One year is a sufficient term to not only solve most of current major issues, but also it will be enough to implement number of new features. My goal is to create a team of C/C++ Developer and QA Engineer who can work on the project at Paralect office without being distracted to anything else for one year. Today, I'm taking my last attempt to rescue the project. Today it is evident to me, that I'm not able to support and develop Robomongo alone anymore.
This extracts all fields into the json fileĭata on localhost (mongodb should be running on localhost) mongoexport -db DATABASE_NAME -collection COLLECTION -out OUTPUT.If you watched short movies about Robomongo, you probably know that I'm broken off between Robomongo and my position at Paralect. To only extract values of the column 'userId'ĭata on remote server, json output file: mongoexport -host HOST_NAME -port PORT -username USERNAME -password "PASSWORD" -collection COLECTION_NAME -db DATABASE_NAME -out OUTPUT.json To connect to Data on remote server, and csv output file, run the following mongoexport in your command line mongoexport -host HOSTNAME -port PORT -username USERNAME -password "PASSWORD" -collection COLLECTION_NAME -db DATABASE_NAME -out OUTPUTFILE.csv -type=csv -fieldFile fields.txtįieldFile: helps to extract the desired columns, ex: The best way I could achieve this is to use mongoexport, if mongodb is installed on your local, you can use mongoexport to connect to database on any server and extract data I had this same issue, and running script in robomongo (Robo 3T 1.1.1) also doesn't allow to copy values and there was no export option either.
