Datashare

Datashare connects Unqork modules to Snowflake and makes submission data available for reporting and analytics in a compatible BI tool. Any organization with an existing Snowflake account can use Datashare to connect to their Unqork data. To get started, submit a Support ticket.

The MongoDB BI Connector reached end-of-life on September 1, 2026. Organizations that were using the BI Connector should now be using Datashare or another alternative.

How Datashare Works

Datashare uses Snowflake Secure Data Sharing to give the connected Snowflake account read-only access to Unqork module data. No data is copied. Snowflake's sharing mechanism grants access through its services layer, so shared data does not occupy storage in the connected Snowflake account.

Unqork syncs data to Snowflake on a fixed-hour cadence. This introduces a maximum-hour data latency, which is a change from the real-time behavior of the MongoDB BI Connector. For most reporting and analytics use cases, this latency is acceptable.

Shared data is read-only and can be queried and analyzed in Snowflake but not modified.

Connection Options

Datashare requires a customer-owned Snowflake account. Unqork shares data directly using zero-copy Data Share.

Getting Started

Datashare setup is handled by Unqork. Submit a Support ticket to request access and discuss connection options.

What Data is Available

Datashare provides up to five Snowflake tables, for each record type. Submissions and Modules are included by default. Tracker, Service Log, and Revisions are optional and can be requested when submitting a Support ticket.

Data is read-only and delivered in raw JSON format. Each record is available in a VARIANT column named RAW_DATA. The column structure does not change after Datashare is configured. Unqork does not modify columns when module components change.
