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?

ODBC/JDBC


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'sConnector 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
