[08:10:43] <ilhami> hello guys

[08:11:34] <ilhami> which MongoDB client allows me to export databases?

[08:11:44] <ilhami> compass doesn't do it for me

[08:12:32] <ilhami> maybe robo3t?

[13:03:00] <GothAlice> ilhami: Have you tried, I don't know, the actual tools that come with the MongoDB server/tool bundle?

[13:03:15] <GothAlice> Like… mongodump? The tool designed for the explicit purpose of exporting databases?

[13:05:00] <ilhami> I tried Studio 3T and it's great.

[14:06:26] <GothAlice> Yup, it's good people. Unnecessary for the task you described, but if one is hobbled by the absolute need to GUI, then it'll certainly do.

[14:07:39] <GothAlice> AFIK it doesn't expose the options I need. When restoring, I need to rename the namespaces coming in, as my hosting provider uses large randomly generated names for everything (host, user, database, …)

[20:31:47] <ario> hello

[20:32:11] <ario> is there a way i can connect to the db directly without doing `use blahblah_db` every time?

[20:32:18] <ario> mongo -d blahblah_db?

[20:37:10] <ario> mongo -d blahblah_db?

[20:37:14] <ario> oops
