## Challenge

You want to read data from or write data to a NoSQL Mongo DB database table.

## Solution

### Create a Database Connection

In order to use the database inside Cognigy.AI, a Connection needs to be created. In this case, the following values are required:

- connectionString  
  - _A Mongo DB Connection URL also called connection string_

The connection string can be created based on the database information, for example:

- With Access Control  
  - mongodb://username:password@mongodb.example.com:27017/?authSource=admin
- Without Access Control  
  - mongodb://mongodb.example.com:27017

Please read the following documentation for more information:

- [Getting Started with Mongo DB](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/getting-started/)
- [Connection String URL Format](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/)
- [Mongo DB Technical Support](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/support/)

### Use Mongo DB Flow Nodes

One can query Mongo DB using Cognigy.AI's inbuilt nodes: [https://docs.cognigy.com/docs/mongo-db](https://docs.cognigy.com/docs/mongo-db)
