Why is Easysoft's Schema Editor for MongoDB showing a blank screen?

You get a blank screen if the database specified in the ODBC data source doesn't exist. Note that the test button in the data source will succeed regardless of whether the database exists.

Use the show collections command to check whether the database exists. To do this, use the mongo shell to connect to the target MongoDB server (that is, the one specified in the data source where the schema editor is blank). For example:

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin>mongo
> use faa
switched to db faa
> show collections
Mersenne_Collection_Metadata
Mersenne_Collection_Metadata1_3
airline
system.indexes
> use madeup
switched to db madeup
> show collections
>
