How to connect to Meteor's MongoDB instance using NetBeans? - mongodb

I'm doing web development with Meteor, with runs MongoDB and minimongo as the default database.
NetBeans is the IDE I like, and am using for the HTML, CSS and JavaScript without a problem.
I'd like to be able to query the Meteor's MongoDB instance using NetBean's database GUIs as well; I don't know if any of NetBeans' standard DB views support MongoDB, but I have installed the NBMongo plugin, which adds a view for MongoDB, and have other integration troubles covered.
My problem is that I don't know how to connect to the Meteor's MongoDB (/minimongo) from the NetBeans plugin.
How do I do it?

Found the answer.
When you run meteor mongo on the shell/command-prompt, one of the things it will tell you is which address and port the Meteor's instance of the MongoDB is being run on. This is the key point I missed.
In most cases, as I was seeing in the references I found online, this will be 127.0.0.1:3001, or localhost:3001.
This wasn't the case for me, and that was why I was having trouble to setup my connection configuration.
I configured the NBMongo plugin's connection to mongodb://[correct address]:[correct port], and voilĂ ! Everything's working like a Swiss clock again!

Where can i host my webapp which use mongodb as a backend server

I have created a project with MERN stack and want to host it. But as i came to know that netlify.app hosting site doesnt support hosting for database related projects as my project includes mongodb as a backend.
It will be a great help if anyone can suggest where should i host my project which can support mongodb as a backend also. And also any methods to do it that will be great help.
You can use AWS EC2 Linux instance, where you can keep your project and at the same time you can store your data. For the initial phase of your project, you can install MongoDB on the same machine.

How to connect Intellij IDEA 2019.2.3 and MongoDB

I would like to ask where I should add configuration of servers in Intellij IDEA 2019.2.3. I already check it in older version and it is not the same.
I tried to connect it like in this tutorial
https://adilmca.wordpress.com/2016/02/20/installation-and-configuration-of-jetbrains-ides-for-mongodb/
In new version when I press add server there is no Mongo. Is it possible? Where can I find it?
Thanks so much.
Tried it on IDEA 2019.2.3, it works fine here. It's an 3rd-party plugin. You can use it by accessing: View->Tool Windows-> Mongo Explorer. See the plugin docs for more information.
PS: There are some issues in 2019.1+, and the author of Mongo Plugin seems out of contact for a while.
you can try this plugin Mongo DB Browser for latest versions (2021.3+) of IDEs

Should i use the Mongo DB that comes with meteor?

When creating a Meteor app., Mongo is installed by default and runs automatically when I run my app. In the past, with other non-Meteor apps, I have always tried to place my app code files and database on separate servers to ensure that I can scale them independently. It feels as though this default Mongo install is a convenient way simply for Meteor to use a database out-of-the box, just to get you going. Thinking ahead, I want my app to scale, so should I start thinking about using a Mongo instance on separate server and, if so, what process do I go through to detach this default Mongo instance from my Meteor app?
The instance of mongodb that comes with meteor is only for use when developing your app. In a production environment, you should either install your own mongo instance or use a service.
I strongly recommend using compose.io in production. We've had a really good experience with them and the most basic deployment comes with access to the oplog which is critical for scaling your app.
Either way, in production you will provide two URLs to your app via environment variables:
MONGO_URL
MONGO_OPLOG_URL (this is optional but strongly recommended)
If you go with compose, here is the guide for integrating with meteor.

MongoDB and Mongolab.com

Recently I discovered the power of noSQL database MongoDB. After a lot of trial and error I was able to install it on my pc along with wampserver. Its running smoothly. Now the question I would like to ask is, that if I want to integrate the MongoDB service provided by Mongolab on my shared hosting plan, is there any class available that helps me connect to the database? Like a php class version of the driver for php and mongodb. As it is not possible to install the driver on my hosting, because of no root access. So is there a raw class available as an alternative to the driver dll?
If you can't install the driver, then the REST interface provided by MongoLab is your best bet - any language that can send/receive a HTTP request can use REST:

best sql client for linux *box window manager

I am using ARCH Linux and Awesome3 WM.
I am looking for a good sql client for multi database include mysql postgre oracal.
Squirrel sql seems good, but I got a blank window after launch it.
Any solution for this problem or there is another better client for me?
http://henplus.sourceforge.net/
It's not a GUI, but it works with any database that has a JDBC driver (including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle), and I like it.
Several tiling window managers might have problems with java applications. Take a look at this page: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Problems_with_Java.
Especially try the workaround using wmname.
As a DB frontend you might try DbVisualizer. If you are using Eclipse to develop your application, "Eclipse SQL Editor" might be of interest. Sorry, Stackoverflow spam protection doesn't let me to provide a hyperlink for that one.
