The MongoDB JDBC Driver enables users to connect with live MongoDB data, directly from any applications that support JDBC connectivity. Rapidly create and deploy powerful Java applications that integrate with MongoDB.

MongoDB

MongoDB JDBC Connectivity Features

Unmatched performance for reading large datasets
Compatible with MongoDB 2.6 and above
Enables SQL-92 capabilities on MongoDB NoSQL data.
Flexible NoSQL flattening - automatic schema generation, flexible querying etc.
Connect to live MongoDB data, for real-time data access with the MongoDB JDBC Driver
Full support for data aggregation and complex JOINs in SQL queries
Seamless integration with leading BI, reporting, and ETL tools and with custom applications via the MongoDB Connector.

Target Service, API

The MongoDB JDBC driver models MongoDB instances as relational databases and supports MongoDB versions 2.6 through 7.0. We support not only MonogoDB hosted version, and DBaaS versions such as Atlas, CosmosDB with MongoDB API, and Amazon DocumentDEB Cluster. The driver leverages the MongoDB API, including the MongoDB aggregation framework, to enable bidirectional SQL access to MongoDB data.

Schema, Data Model

MongoDB is a schemaless, document database that provides high performance, availability, and scalability. The driver models the schemaless MongoDB objects into relational tables and translates SQL queries into MongoDB queries to get the requested data. The Automatic Schema Discovery scheme automatically finds the data types in a MongoDB object by scanning a configured number of rows of the object. You can use RowScanDepth, FlattenArrays, and FlattenObjects to control the relational representation of the collections in MongoDB. You can also write Free-Form Queries not tied to the schema.

Key Objects

User defined objects are exposed as relational tables.

Operations

You can use SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE, CACHE and many other SQL statements.

Authentication

The driver supports Authenticdation Schemes;, MONGODB-CR, SCRAM-SHA-1, SCRAM-SHA-256, PLAIN (LDAP), GSSAPI, and X509.

JDBC access to MongoDB

Full-featured and consistent SQL access to any supported data source through JDBC

Certified Compatibility*

Our drivers undergo extensive testing and are certified to be compatible with leading analytics and reporting applications like SAP Crystal Reports, Pentaho, Business Objects, Crystal Reports and many more.
Metadata Discovery

Full support for JDBC DatabaseMetaData provides extensive schema discovery capabilities. Explore tables, columns, keys, and other data constructs based on user identity.
Developer Friendly

Design-time support for all major Java IDEs, including Eclipse, IntelliJ, and NetBeans.
JDBC Remoting

Our exclusive remoting feature allows hosting the JDBC connection on a server to enable connections from various clients on any platform (Java, .NET, C++, PHP, Python), using any standards-based technology (ODBC, JDBC, etc.). JDBC Remoting is enabled using the popular MySQL wire protocol server.
Replication and Caching

Our replication and caching commands make it easy to copy data to local and cloud data stores such as Oracle, SQL Server, Google Cloud SQL, etc. The replication commands include many features that allow for intelligent incremental updates to cached data.

String, Date, Numeric SQL Functions

The driver includes a library of over 50 functions that can manipulate column values into the desired result. Popular examples include Regex, JSON, and XML processing functions.
Collaborative Query Processing

Our drivers enhance the data source's capabilities by additional client-side processing, when needed, to enable analytic summaries of data such as SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN, etc.
Easily Customizable and Configurable

The data model exposed by our JDBC Drivers can easily be customized to add or remove tables/columns, change data types, etc. without requiring a new build. These customizations are supported at runtime using human-readable schema files that are easy to edit.
Secure Connectivity

Includes standard Enterprise-class security features such as TLS/ SSL data encryption for all client-server communications.
