MongoDB SQL Interface

The MongoDB SQL Interface Connector enables you to access and analyze live application data stored in MongoDB. Easily connect Tableau to MongoDB and begin querying using SQL without the need for complicated schema definition. Leverage Tableau’s native functionality for advanced querying, self-service data modeling, and sophisticated analysis across multiple data sources, all without disrupting in-production application workloads.
