Columns for Tables Not Visible in the Schema Tab

Issue

Columns for tables are not visible in the Schema tab.

Environment

Connector: MongoDB

Resolution

To resolve this issue, wait for the connection's initial sync to complete before going to the Schema tab.

Cause

MongoDB is a NoSQL database with no fixed columns and tables. Instead, it has collections (similar to tables) and dynamic schemas. It is a document-oriented database that uses JSON documents. During the connnection's initial sync, we examine the data and retrieve the column details. Therefore, this issue occurs when you attempt to view columns in the Schema tab before we complete the connection's initial sync.
