Rename Database function
Subject: Feature Request: Add Support for Renaming a Database
Dear MongoDB Team,
I appreciate the great work you’ve done with MongoDB—it’s a fantastic database solution that continues to evolve and improve. However, I would like to suggest a feature that I believe would be beneficial to many users:
Feature Request: Database Rename Functionality
Currently, MongoDB does not provide a built-in method to rename a database. The workaround involves using mongodump and mongorestore, or manually copying collections, which can be cumbersome, especially for large databases.A built-in command like renameDatabase("olddb", "newdb") would:
Simplify database management.

Script a schema
In schema explorer, right click a collection Schema, and have the option to "Generate Script". This would generate a js file such as:
var Comments = new Schema({
title : String
, body : String
, date : Date
});Alternatively or additionally, you could click the collection, and "Generate Script" and it would generate a script for creating the schema AND indexes. It would also be helpful to be able to perform this at the database level, which would generate the script for every collection in the database.

Please refer to the design pattern and features of database plugin in IDEA
Please support a query console where we can edit and store some MongoDB SQL for query, and It'd better to execute the statements in the query console and get the result in the tab at the bottom.

Opening Playground file from other folders out of workspace, with Recents list
Normally I don't store playground files within my VS Code project folder (which often is a Git repository).
I could add the files to .gitignore, but it would be much more convenience if the Playgrounds pane has options to open file from another folder, and to open recent files too.1 vote -

Naming convention of documents when viewing in VSCode
The MongoDB extension for VSCode has given me a really good development experience by simply using my DB from either local machine or from Atlas, without going out of the editor.
But one thing we can have, as an improvement, is to give some sort of ability that the documents of a MongoDB collection can be named based on a field chosen when viewing it via extension.
Currently, for sake of uniqueness, it uses _id as representation name, which may sometimes feel confusing while developing with MongoDB.
I will really love to have something of sorts implemented in VS Code.

Reactive document opened by ID for editing
I really want to be able to open a document by ID so I can fix data created during development, but that would be on page 1000 if browsing.

Pin Connection to Playground
I would like to be able to switch across playgrounds that are contextually associated with different connections without having switch connections globally.
So, I connect one playground with one connection, I open another playground for another connection. When I switch back to the first playground I don't have to click through to the first connection as the playground is still associated with it.
Likewise, when I switch to the second playground, it's already/still connected to the second connection.

Connection Collections
Instead of having to search through a long list of connections, create folders in which related connections might be grouped?

show/hide setting for the info line in the file tab
I can see the potential in this tiny feature but for my, seeing unrelated info line text in the file is distractions, and I will appreciate a setting to hide or show this info line in the file
I searched in the setting but did not find any settings to show or hide this info line.
further more I will suggest to add "connected info" section in the mdb sidebar, it can be as a mini dash board.. this info line will be great fit in that section. thanks!1 vote -
Improve Performance of Result Display - Stream Results to JSON Display
It looks like currently the playground results don't appear until the full set is collected from the server. This is extremely slow sometimes depending on the latency to the cluster and document size.
As soon as you have one document returned in the cursor, you can start showing the data in the results panel write the JSON streaming fashion as each document is deserialized.1 vote -
