4 Simple Steps to Export MongoDB to SQL
Connect MongoDB
Configure your MongoDB connection details (URI/host:port, authentication) — supports both MongoDB Atlas (cloud) and self-hosted MongoDB servers.
Select Export Type & Collections
Choose one of 4 flexible export types and select target collections or define a custom query. Supports Find Result, 1 to 1, n to 1, and n to n exports.
Configure SQL Export Settings
Set SQL formatting options (DB type: MySQL, encoding, table name), apply MongoDB query filters, and configure field mapping/renaming.

4 Flexible MongoDB to SQL Export Types
Choose the perfect export method for your needs — from single query results to batch exports of multiple collections.
1 to 1
Export MongoDB collection to SQL file
Export one MongoDB collection to one SQL file — ideal for single-collection backup or targeted data migration. Preserves all fields and documents in the collection.
Example:
Collection: products → SQL File: products.sql
n to 1
Export multiple MongoDB collections to a single SQL file
Combine data from multiple MongoDB collections into a single SQL file — perfect for consolidated data integration or bulk import into SQL databases.
Example:
Collections: orders_2023, orders_2024, orders_2025 → SQL File: orders.sql
n to n
Batch export MongoDB collections to SQL files
Batch export multiple MongoDB collections to their own individual SQL files in one operation — saves time when backing up or migrating entire databases.
Example:
customers → customers.sql
products → products.sql
orders → orders.sql
Find Result to File
Export MongoDB query to SQL file
Execute a custom MongoDB find query and export only matching documents to a single SQL file. Ideal for ad-hoc data extraction, filtered reporting, or selective migration.

Frequently Asked Questions About MongoDB to SQL Export
Q: Can I apply filters to export only specific MongoDB documents to SQL?
A: Yes! Use full MongoDB query syntax to filter by fields, date ranges, comparison operators, or custom conditions. Export only the data you need.
Q: Can I export data from MongoDB Atlas (cloud) to SQL?
A: Absolutely! Whitelist your IP address in Atlas, enter your cluster URI, and export directly to SQL. All processing is local — your data remains secure.
Q: What's the maximum MongoDB dataset size supported for export?
A: There's no strict limit. The tool uses stream processing to handle collections larger than 10GB — as long as you have enough disk space for the SQL output.
Q: Is it safe to use with sensitive data?
A: 100% safe. All data conversion occurs locally on your machine. No data is transmitted to external servers, ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.).
Q: Can I run exports via command line for automation?
A: Yes! Save your export session as a .bat (Windows) or .sh (Linux/macOS) file, and schedule it using Windows Task Scheduler or Linux Crontab.
