DBeaver PRO lets you work with different types of databases, including NoSQL. In this tutorial, you’ll go step by step through creating a connection to MongoDB, one of the most popular document‑oriented databases.
1. Start by clicking the New Database Connection button on the top toolbar to open the Connection Wizard. To find the MongoDB driver, start typing its name in the search field or go to the NoSQL section of the wizard.
2. Double‑click the driver icon. A connection window opens with several tabs. On the Main tab, fill in the host and port and choose the authentication method from the dropdown list. Depending on the method you choose, you may need to fill in a few more fields. For example, for SCRAM‑SHA, you’ll need to enter the user and password.
3. If your database is accessible through an SSH tunnel, go to the SSH tab, select Use SSH Tunnel, and fill in the required fields.
To make sure everything is entered correctly, click the Test tunnel configuration button. You’ll see either a success message or an error message. If you see an error, double‑check the fields you filled in.
4. If your configuration requires an SSL certificate, go to the SSL tab, select Use SSL, and upload the CA Certificate, Client Certificate, and Client Private Key files.
5. After you finish the settings, click the Test Connection button to check that everything is correct. If the connection is successful, you’ll see a window with the result and driver information.
6. Finally, click the Finish button. The new connection appears in the navigation tree. Then click the Expand icon or select your database in the Database Navigator and click the Connect button on the top toolbar.
