Databases

MongoDB databases are used to store and manage your application's document-based data, making it accessible and organized for your applications and services.

On the Databases page, you can view and manage your MongoDB databases.

The page provides a table containing the user's databases, along with options related to them:

• Databases: Here, you can view database sizes.

Available options on the Databases page are:

• View Databases
• Create a new database
• Delete a MongoDB Database

System databases (admin, local, config) are never shown in the table and cannot be created, imported into, or deleted through OpenPanel.

Create a MongoDB Database​

To create a new MongoDB database, click on the "New Database" button and fill in the name of the new database.

MongoDB has no explicit "create database" operation - the database is created as soon as it holds data, so a placeholder collection is created for you automatically.

Delete a MongoDB Database​

To delete an existing MongoDB database, click on the "Delete" button next to the database name in the table.

The button turns into Confirm with a 5-second countdown. Click it again before the countdown ends to delete the database; otherwise it reverts to Delete.
