# NoSQL Connectors

> Work with modern, flexible NoSQL databases for document-oriented and multi-model data validation.

## Overview

NoSQL databases provide flexible schemas and distributed architectures ideal for modern applications. Data Testing supports leading NoSQL platforms for comprehensive data validation and comparison workflows.

{% hint style="info" %}
NoSQL connectors support native query languages, document filtering, and advanced aggregation capabilities for flexible validation.

## Common NoSQL Configuration

### Connection Parameters

| Parameter          | Description                                  | Required    |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| **Host**           | Database server address or connection string | ✅ Yes       |
| **Port**           | Database service port                        | ✅ Yes       |
| **Database Name**  | Specific database/catalog                    | ✅ Yes       |
| **Authentication** | Username/Password or connection credentials  | ⚠️ Optional |

### Query Configuration

NoSQL databases use their native query languages:

* **MongoDB**: Uses MongoDB Query Language (MQL)
* **SurrealDB**: Uses SurrealQL
* **Aggregation Pipelines**: Supported for complex transformations

## 🔐 Security Best Practices

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Security Recommendations:**

1. ✅ Use authentication on all instances
2. ✅ Implement network access controls
3. ✅ Use TLS/SSL for all connections
4. ✅ Create dedicated read-only validation users
5. ✅ Rotate credentials regularly
6. ✅ Enable audit logging
7. ✅ Restrict access by IP/network

## Performance Optimization

| Optimization                         | Benefit                    | Impact |
| ------------------------------------ | -------------------------- | ------ |
| **Create indexes** on queried fields | Faster query execution     | High   |
| **Use aggregation pipelines**        | Filter data early          | High   |
| **Limit result sets**                | Reduce memory usage        | High   |
| **Batch processing**                 | Enable parallel validation | Medium |
| **Connection pooling**               | Efficient resource usage   | Medium |
