The MongoDB ODBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with live MongoDB document databases, directly from any applications that support ODBC connectivity. Access MongoDB like you would a database - read, write, and update through a standard ODBC Driver interface.
MongoDB
MongoDB 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
- Full support for data aggregation and complex JOINs in SQL queries
- Seamless integration with leading BI, reporting, and ETL tools and with custom applications
Target Service, API
The 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.

Available for Microsoft Windows, Unix, and Mac (macOS / OS X) platforms.
-
Certified ODBC Compatibility*
Our drivers undergo extensive testing and are certified to be compatible with leading analytics and reporting applications like Tableau, Microsoft Excel, and many more.
* Please visit our knowledge base to access how-to articles. -
Embedded Remoting Capabilities
Our exclusive Remoting feature allows hosting the ODBC connection on a server to enable connections from various clients on any platform (Java, .NET, C++, PHP, Python, etc.), using any standards based technology (ODBC, JDBC, etc.). ODBC Remoting is enabled using the popular MySQL and SQL (TDS) wire protocol server.
-
String, Date, Numeric SQL Functions
The driver includes a library of 50 plus 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 ODBC 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.
-
Enterprise-class Secure Connectivity
Includes standard Enterprise-class security features such as TLS/ SSL data encryption for all client-server communications.
-
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.
