The MongoDB ODBC driver has been released, allowing users to easily connect to MongoDB data using analytics tools such as Microsoft Excel, Qlik, Microstrategy Desktop, Tableau Desktop, and PowerBI. The driver simplifies the process of connecting to MongoDB data by abstracting rich document structures and presenting them in a tabular format, making it easier for analysts and business users to access and analyze data. The new ODBC driver was released to improve the end-user experience by reducing setup complexity and providing a simple click-through installation process on both Mac OSX and Windows 7/10. Users can download and install the driver quickly and easily, then set up an ODBC connection using the MongoDB ODBC driver, which allows them to import data into applications such as Excel, Qlik, and Tableau, and perform analytics and analysis on that data.
