MongoDB has announced the general availability of the MongoDB SQL Interface for MongoDB Enterprise Advanced, aimed at streamlining SQL connectivity for MongoDB users and facilitating seamless data querying through popular BI tools like Tableau and Power BI. This development allows organizations to access MongoDB data using standard ODBC and JDBC connections without needing to learn MongoDB Query Language or setting up ETL pipelines, thus reducing data fragmentation and maintenance overhead. The MongoDB SQL Interface translates SQL queries into MongoDB operations using a SQL-92 compatible dialect, MongoSQL, and generates JSON schemas that map document structures to SQL-queryable formats. This innovation replaces the MongoDB BI Connector, offering improved performance and schema flexibility. In parallel, MongoDB announced a change in leadership, with Dev Ittycheria stepping down as CEO and Chirantan "CJ" Desai taking over, marking a new phase in the company's growth. The transition is part of a strategic plan to introduce fresh leadership to guide MongoDB through its next evolution, leveraging CJ's experience in scaling technology companies. MongoDB continues to expand its influence, with its technology playing a crucial role in modern data-intensive applications, and has been recognized as one of Glassdoor's Best-Led Companies for 2025, reflecting its strong leadership and employee satisfaction.
