# MongoDB

To ingest data from MongoDB using Upsolver, you must first create a connection with the appropriate credentials to access your database.

{% hint style="info" %}
See the [Connection String URI Format](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/connection-string/) MongoDB documentation for further information.
{% endhint %}

## Syntax

```sql
CREATE MONGODB CONNECTION <connection_identifier> 
    CONNECTION_STRING = '<connection_string>' 
    USER_NAME = 'your username'
    PASSWORD = 'your password' 
    [ TIMEOUT = INTERVAL '<integer>' SECONDS ]
    [ COMMENT = '<comment>' ]
```

#### Jump to

* [CONNECTION\_STRING](#connection_string-editable)
* [USER\_NAME](#user_name-editable)
* [PASSWORD](#password-editable)
* [TIMEOUT](#timeout)
* [COMMENT](#comment-editable)

## Connection options

#### `CONNECTION_STRING` — editable

The connection string to use when connecting to the server.&#x20;

#### `USER_NAME` — editable

Type: `text`

The user to authenticate to the database with.

#### `PASSWORD` — editable

CREATE MONGODB CONNECTION my_mongodb_connection
    CONNECTION_STRING = 'mongodb+srv://upsolver.example.mongodb.net/testdb'
    USER_NAME = 'your_username'
    PASSWORD = 'your_password'
    TIMEOUT = INTERVAL '10' SECONDS
    COMMENT = 'Connection to MongoDB';

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://upsolver.gitbook.io/content/reference-1/sql-commands/connections/create-connection/mongodb.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
