 What to consider for BI with MongoDB?
 When to utilize MongoDB's Connector for BI versus
Progress DataDirect's solution
 How TIBCO Jaspersoft selected a MongoDB
connector for their Embedded BI platform

What to consider for BI with
MongoDB?

What is MongoDB?
MongoDB is an open source, document-oriented NoSQL
database designed with both scalability and developer
agility in mind. Instead of storing your data in tables and
rows as you would with a relational database, in
MongoDB you store JSON-like documents with dynamic
schemas.

Why do we need a BI connector for MongoDB?
 MongoDB is a NoSQL database making it scalable and
flexible for building applications, but the BI ecosytem
expects SQL.
 MongoDB document structures can include deeply
nested data that do not have equivalents in the
relational model
 MongoDB native queries have limited support for SQL
JOINs across different collections.

MongoDB Survey: How complex are documents?

MongoDB Survey: Depth of arrays/document nesting?

BI Connectors for MongoDB vs RDBMS
 Important to run performance stress tests on BI servers for workloads
 Different BI tools require specific properties such as max varchar sizes
on string data types, or field names that start with underscore.
 Must sample data to generate schema on read – need to configure this
value “ColumnDiscoverySampleSize”
 Flexible data model where data types can vary row to row and case
sensitive naming collisions can occur during normalization

When to utilize MongoDB's
Connector for BI versus Progress
DataDirect's solution

MongoDB 3.2 Connector for BI (released Q4 2015)
Visualize and explore multi-dimensional
documents using SQL-based BI tools. The
connector does the following:
• Provides the BI tool with the schema of the
MongoDB collection to be visualized
• Translates SQL statements issued by the BI tool
into equivalent MongoDB queries that are sent to
MongoDB for processing
• Converts the results into the tabular format
expected by the BI tool, which can then visualize
the data based on user requirements

CASE STUDY
CHALLENGE
 MongoDB became a production database in Killik & Co’s
infrastructure, and the team began to move many processes from
SQL to MongoDB. Various departments began asking for data for
reporting purposes, which necessitated real-time connectivity
between SQL Server and MongoDB.
The SOLUTION
 Using Progress DataDirect Connect for ODBC, Killik & Co will can
expose the data in the MongoDB database as normalized relational
tables, enabling the team to query, sort and aggregate data from
both systems to gain a far more comprehensive view of its
customers
