| Description |
Documentation ChangesApplies only to the 1.x branch of the BI connector. DescriptionEven though this section says that username and database are the same, I think the documentation needs to say more about the relationship within the BI Connector between:
A reasonable user might think that the mongobiuser tool simply creates a user in the Connector and somehow associated that with a MongoDB connection string. Furthermore, they might think that when importing a schema via the mongobischama tool a database will be created in Postgres with the same name as the MongoDB database indicated in the DRDL file. But that's not the case. What actually happens is that mongobiuser creates a BI Connector user AND a database of the same name as the user. When importing schemas into the Connector via mongobischema, all tables in the DRDL file are imported into that database. The MongoDB database is NOT represented as a BI Connector database. Essentially, each BI Connector user has its own separate schema in the Connector. It's not shared with any other BI Connector users. This is implied by the fact that mongobischema requires a BI Connector username, but it should be more explicit. |
