Do any visual tools exist for MongoDB (for Windows)? [closed] stackoverflow


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., especiallyfrom 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.

I'm voting to close my own question; at the time it was written, the landscape was barren and even one or two answers was a miracle. But now there seem to be plenty of tools and the answers are just going to turn into a poll over time. – Aaronaught Feb 25 '12 at 16:34

My one and only issue with SO is how aggressive we are in closing questions. Take this one - I found it via a Google search, it's highly upvoted, and has an excellent and well-maintained accepted answer that was extremely helpful to me, a developer. Why close it then? This question has not proven to solicit debates, argument, polling or extended discussion. If it is closed, we reduce the body of knowledge that programmers have access to, which is the opposite of the spirit and intent of SO, IMHO. – Ryan Shripat Feb 20 '15 at 1:56
   
@RyanShripat: I don't know why my name doesn't appear in the list, but you do realize that this is myquestion and I voted to close it? There are a lot of obsolete and/or unhelpful answers here, some duplicate answers, and some actual spam that you can't see right now because it was deleted. I got value out of this question at the time, but it's just not necessary anymore, and eliminating this kind of noise was precisely the spirit and intent of Stack Overflow. I'd probably say it shouldn't be deleted, but it should definitely stay closed. – Aaronaught Feb 20 '15 at 6:46

Hi @Aaronaught - I saw your comment saying that you're voting to close it, but ignored it because I think that's actually irrelevant. 'Your' question now belongs to the Community. There ARE obsolete and unhelpful answers here, but the top-voted one, with 70 votes, is extremely up-to-date and helpful. I made this Google search yesterday, and found this, so I'd say it's very much necessary - I got value out of this just yesterday.– Ryan Shripat Feb 20 '15 at 11:48
