+# Enumerating Databases
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Minimum Server Version: 3.6
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## Abstract
+
+A driver can provide functionality to enumerate all databases on a server. This specification defines several methods
+for enumerating databases.
+
+## META
+
+The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
+"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt).
+
+## Specification
+
+### Terms
+
+**MongoClient**\
+Driver object representing a connection to MongoDB. This is the root object of a driver's API and MAY
+be named differently in some drivers.
+
+**MongoDatabase**\
+Driver object representing a database and the operations that can be performed on it. MAY be named
+differently in some drivers.
+
+**Iterable**\
+An object or data structure that is a sequence of elements that can be iterated over. This spec is
+flexible on what that means as different drivers will have different requirements, types, and idioms.
+
+**Document**\
+An object or data structure used by the driver to represent a BSON document. This spec is flexible on what
+that means as different drivers will have different requirements, types, and idioms.
+
+### Naming Deviations
+
+This specification defines names for methods. To the extent possible, drivers SHOULD use the defined names. However,
+where a driver or language's naming conventions would conflict, drivers SHOULD honor their existing conventions. For
+example, a driver may use `list_databases` instead of `listDatabases`.
+
+### Filters
+
+Drivers SHOULD support the `filter` option when implementing the
+[listDatabases](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/listDatabases/) database command. The `filter`
+option is a query predicate that determines which databases are listed in the command result. You can specify a
+condition on any of the database fields returned in the command output:
+
+- `name`
+- `sizeOnDisk`
+- `empty`
+- `shards`
+
+For example, to list only databases whose names begin with "foo":
+
+```javascript
+db.adminCommand({listDatabases: 1, filter: {name: /^foo/}});
+```
+
+### AuthorizedDatabases
+
+MongoDB 4.0.5 added an `authorizedDatabases` boolean option to the
+[listDatabases](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/listDatabases/) database command, which can be
+used to limit the command result to only include databases the user is authorized to use. Drivers SHOULD support the new
+`authorizedDatabases` option when implementing the
+[listDatabases](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/listDatabases/) database command.
+
+The possible values for `authorizedDatabases` are:
+
+- unspecified (missing entirely from the command document sent to the server)
+- `false`
+- `true`
+
+See the server's [listDatabases](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/listDatabases/) documentation for
+an explanation of what each value means.
+
+### Comment
+
+MongoDB 4.4 introduced a `comment` option to the `listDatabases` command. This option enables users to specify a comment
+as an arbitrary BSON type to help trace the operation through the database profiler, currentOp and logs. The default is
+to not send a value. If a comment is provided on pre-4.4 servers, the comment should still be attached and the driver
+should rely on the server to provide an error to the user.
+
+```javascript
+db.getSiblingDB("admin").runCommand({listDatabases: 1, comment: "hi there"})
+```
+
+### Driver Methods
+
+If a driver already has a method to perform one of the listed tasks, there is no need to change it. Do not break
+backwards compatibility when adding new methods.
+
+All methods SHOULD be implemented on the MongoClient object.
+
+All methods MUST apply timeouts per the
+[Client Side Operations Timeout](./client-side-operations-timeout/client-side-operations-timeout.md) specification.
+
+#### Enumerating Full Database Information
+
+The [listDatabases](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/listDatabases/) database command returns an
+array of documents, each of which contains information about a database on the MongoDB server. Additionally, the command
+reports the aggregate sum of all database sizes (in bytes). Consider the following example:
+
+```javascript
+db.getSiblingDB("admin").runCommand({listDatabases:1})
+    {
+        "databases" : [
+            {
+                "name" : "admin",
+                "sizeOnDisk" : 83886080,
+                "empty" : false
+            },
+            {
+                "name" : "local",
+                "sizeOnDisk" : 83886080,
+                "empty" : false
+            }
+        ],
+        "totalSize" : 167772160,
+        "ok" : 1
+    }
+```
+
+Drivers SHOULD implement a MongoClient method that returns an Iterable of database specifications (e.g. model object,
+document type), each of which correspond to an element in the databases array of the `listDatabases` command result.
+This method SHOULD be named `listDatabases`.
+
+Drivers MAY report `totalSize` (e.g. through an additional output variable on the `listDatabases` method), but this is
+not necessary.
+
+Drivers SHOULD support the `filter`, `authorizedDatabases` and `comment` options when implementing this method.
+
+#### Enumerating Database Names
+
+MongoDB 3.6 introduced a `nameOnly` boolean option to the `listDatabases` database command, which limits the command
+result to only include database names. Consider the following example:
+
+```
+> db.getSiblingDB("admin").runCommand({listDatabases:1,nameOnly:true})
+{
+    "databases" : [
+        { "name" : "admin" },
+        { "name" : "local" }
+    ],
+    "ok" : 1
+}
+```
+
+Drivers MAY implement a MongoClient method that returns an Iterable of strings, each of which corresponds to a name in
+the databases array of the `listDatabases` command result. This method SHOULD be named `listDatabaseNames`.
+
+Drivers SHOULD support the `filter`, `authorizedDatabases` and `comment` options when implementing this method.
+
+#### Enumerating MongoDatabase Objects
+
+Drivers MAY implement a MongoClient method that returns an Iterable of MongoDatabase types, each of which corresponds to
+a name in the databases array of the `listDatabases` command result. This method MAY be named `listMongoDatabases`.
+
+Any MongoDatabase objects returned by this method SHOULD inherit the same MongoClient options that would otherwise be
+inherited by selecting an individual MongoDatabase through MongoClient (e.g. read preference, write concern).
+
+Drivers SHOULD specify the `nameOnly` option when executing the `listDatabases` command for this method.
+
+Drivers SHOULD support the `filter`, `authorizedDatabases` and `comment` options when implementing this method.
+
+### Replica Sets
+
+The `listDatabases` command may be run on a secondary node. Drivers MUST run the `listDatabases` command only on the
+primary node in replica set topology, unless directly connected to a secondary node in Single topology.
+
+## Test Plan
+
+### Test Environments
+
+The test plan should be executed against the following servers:
+
+- Standalone
+- Replica set primary
+- Replica set secondary
+- Sharding router (i.e. mongos)
+
+### Test Cases
+
+The following scenarios should be run for each test environment:
+
+- Execute the method to enumerate full database information (e.g. `listDatabases()`)
+  - Verify that the method returns an Iterable of Document types
+  - Verify that all databases on the server are present in the result set
+  - Verify that the result set does not contain duplicates
+- Execute the method to enumerate database names (e.g. `listDatabaseNames()`)
+  - Verify that the method returns an Iterable of strings
+  - Verify that all databases on the server are present in the result set
+  - Verify that the result set does not contain duplicates
+- Execute the method to enumerate MongoDatabase objects (e.g. `listMongoDatabases()`)
+  - Verify that the method returns an Iterable of MongoDatabase objects
+  - Verify that all databases on the server are present in the result set
+  - Verify that the result set does not contain duplicates
+
+## Motivation for Change
+
+Although most drivers provide a `listDatabases` command helper in their API, there was previously no spec for a database
+enumeration. MongoDB 3.6 introduced a `nameOnly` option to the `listDatabases` database command. The driver API should
+to be expanded to support this option.
+
+## Design Rationale
+
+The design of this specification is inspired by the [Collection Enumeration](./enumerate-collections.rst) and
+[Index Enumeration](./enumerate-indexes.rst) specifications. Since most drivers already implement a `listDatabases`
+command helper in some fashion, this spec is flexible when it comes to existing APIs.
+
+## Backwards Compatibility
+
+There should be no backwards compatibility concerns. This specification merely deals with how to enumerate databases in
+future versions of MongoDB and allows flexibility for existing driver APIs.
+
+## Reference Implementation
+
+TBD
+
+## Q & A
+
+### Why is reporting the total size of all databases optional?
+
+Although the `listDatabases` command provides two results, a `databases` array and `totalSize` integer, the array of
+database information documents is the primary result. Returning a tuple or composite result type from a `listDatabases`
+driver method would complicate the general use case, as opposed to an optional output argument (if supported by the
+language). Furthermore, the `totalSize` value can be calculated client-side by summing all `sizeOnDisk` fields in the
+array of database information documents.
+
+## Changelog
+
+- 2024-07-26: Migrated from reStructuredText to Markdown. Removed note that applied to pre-3.6 servers.
+
+- 2022-10-05: Remove spec front matter and reformat changelog. Also reverts the\
+  minimum server version to 3.6, which is
+  where `nameOnly` and `filter` options were first introduced for `listDatabases`.
+
+- 2022-08-17: Clarify the behavior of comment on pre-4.4 servers.
+
+- 2022-02-01: Support comment option in listDatabases command
+
+- 2022-01-19: Require that timeouts be applied per the client-side operations timeout spec.
+
+- 2019-11-20: Support authorizedDatabases option in listDatabases command
+
+- 2017-10-30: Support filter option in listDatabases command

-          }
-      ],
