MongoDB

A popular document-oriented NoSQL database called MongoDB is utilized for storing data using a flexible JSON-like document model. Before being connected to MongoDB, it is required to verify that the appropriate network access to reach the database is ensured by configuring the firewall or network settings based on the specific setup.

The relevant connection details such as the database name, host address, and port number should be provided to establish a connection with MongoDB. In addition, the authentication credentials or SSL settings required for secure connections can also be specified. After establishing the connection, the powerful query and aggregation features of MongoDB can be used to work with data.

The following table outlines the parameters that need to be filled by the user to establish a connection with MongoDB. It provides a clear breakdown of the specific parameters required and their corresponding data types, which must be accurately entered to establish a successful connection with MongoDB.

Once the connection with the MongoDB source has been established successfully, the "input" page is utilized to define the data or dataset. This step involves specifying the necessary details related to the data or dataset, such as its location, type, and structure. Ensuring that all the relevant information is accurately entered on the "input" page to properly define the data or dataset is crucial for the successful transfer of data to a MongoDB collection.

A detailed explanation of the features can be found in section 2.1 of this user manual. This feature enables documents and fields within your database to be easily navigated and selected, and then used in your queries by dragging and dropping them into the input query section.

To view the results of the written query, refer to section 2.2, which covers the 'Execute Query' feature. This feature allows the user to execute the query and view the output in the result window.
