The MongoDB Connector for BI was introduced in MongoDB 3.2, providing a SQL API to enable real-time data analysis and visualization with Business Intelligence tools such as Microsoft Excel, Tableau, and others. This connector allows users to connect their existing BI tools to MongoDB databases, overcoming limitations like handling special characters in table or column names by editing the DRDL file produced by the mongodrdl tool. The connector is part of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced and can be freely downloaded for evaluation purposes. With this connection, users can fetch data from MongoDB in real-time, enabling powerful analytics and visualization capabilities.
