Single connector for all your SQL queries

dotConnect for MongoDB lets you query MongoDB collections as tables with SQL. The built-in SQL engine processes the queries, so you can work with MongoDB data using familiar SQL statements instead of the MongoDB query API.

Data management via SQL queries: Retrieve and manage MongoDB data by writing and executing SQL queries.
Full CRUD support: Run SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements against MongoDB collections.
Advanced SQL capabilities: Use JOINs, GROUP BY, WHERE conditions, and other SQL features, and DDL statements to create tables and indexes.
Native MongoDB commands: Send MongoDB commands in JSON when the Sql Engine option is turned off.
