MongoDB/Ubuntu 15.10 - Connection Issue.

[Diagon]

I'm feeling around in the dark here a bit, so forgive me for the untutored question. I am trying to connect to mongodb (2.6.10) on localhost:27017 with no password. I am in Database >> Driver Manager >> New (ie Create New Driver) looking for driver libraries, but I'm not finding any. I have been trying to follow this outline: http://www.cdata.com/kb/tech/mongodb-jdbc-dbvr.rst

Input appreciated.

You can't create a driver for Mongo. It is not JDBC.
You need to download Enterprise Edition version. Mongo driver is included in EE distribution.

@serge - thanks, man. Could you clarify the difference? Is there a different license for the two? I'm looking on the web page but not seeing it ...

@serge - one more thing. Can I just tar/gnuzip the EE and then in Driver Manager >> Edit Driver, Add File and point it to: unzipped_EE/plugins/org.mongodb.mong-java-driver_3.2.2.jar ? Would that do it? When I hit the "find class" button, nothing comes up.

You can't edit Mongo (or Cassandra) driver.
You can use only the one which is shipped with DBeaver.
Just curious - why do you want to edit it?

@Serge - I wasn't trying to edit it. I was just trying to find the driver and move it into the right place. No worries. I uninstalled the CE & installed the EE. It all works now.

Thanks man. Was confusing at first. If I might offer a suggestion - on the download page, make it clear what the distinction is between the two editions: the license and specifiy which drivers are missing in the CE. That will save some confusion. Alright, I'm off to explore! :^>
