Detailed Description

Class representing a MongoDB database.

Acts as a gateway for accessing collections that are contained within a database. It inherits all of its default settings from the client that creates it.

Todo:
Add auth functions (add_user, remove_all_users, remove_user)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

mongocxx::database::database ( )
noexcept

Default constructs a new database.

The database is not valid for use and is equivalent to the state of a moved-from database. The only valid actions to take with a default constructed database are to assign to it, or destroy it.

Member Function Documentation

class collection mongocxx::database::collection ( bsoncxx::string::view_or_value  name) const

Access a collection (logical grouping of documents) within this database.

Parameters
namethe name of the collection to get.
Returns
the collection.
class collection mongocxx::database::create_collection ( bsoncxx::string::view_or_value  name,
const options::create_collection options = options::create_collection() 
)

Explicitly creates a collection in this database with the specified options.

See also
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.createCollection/
Parameters
namethe new collection's name.
optionsthe options for the new collection.
Exceptions
mongocxx::operation_exceptionif the operation fails.
void mongocxx::database::drop ( )

Drops the database and all its collections.

Exceptions
mongocxx::operation_exceptionif the operation fails.
See also
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.dropDatabase/
bool mongocxx::database::has_collection ( bsoncxx::string::view_or_value  name) const

Checks whether this database contains a collection having the given name.

Parameters
namethe name of the collection.
Returns
bool whether the collection exists in this database.
Exceptions
mongocxx::operation_exceptionif the underlying 'listCollections' command fails.
cursor mongocxx::database::list_collections ( bsoncxx::document::view_or_value  filter = {})

Enumerates the collections in this database.

Parameters
filterAn optional query expression to filter the returned collections.
Returns
mongocxx::cursor containing the collection information.
Exceptions
mongocxx::operation_exceptionif the underlying 'listCollections' command fails.
See also
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/listCollections/
bsoncxx::document::value mongocxx::database::modify_collection ( stdx::string_view  name,
const options::modify_collection options = options::modify_collection() 
)

Modify an existing collection.

See also
https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/collMod/
Parameters
namethe name of the collection to be modified.
optionsthe modifications to be performed.
Returns
the result of executing the command.
stdx::string_view mongocxx::database::name ( ) const

Get the name of this database.

Returns
the name of this database.
collection mongocxx::database::operator[] ( bsoncxx::string::view_or_value  name) const

Allows the db["collection_name"] syntax to be used to access a collection within this database.

Parameters
namethe name of the collection to get.
Returns
the collection.
void mongocxx::database::read_concern ( class read_concern  rc)

Sets the read_concern for this database.

Note
Modifications at this level do not affect existing collection instances that have come from this database, but do affect new ones. New collections will receive a copy of the new read_concern for this database upon instantiation.
Parameters
rcThe new read_concern
See also
https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/read-concern/
class read_concern mongocxx::database::read_concern ( ) const

The current read concern for this database.

If the read_concern is not explicitly set on this database object, it inherits the read_concern from its parent client object.

Returns
the current read_concern
void mongocxx::database::read_preference ( class read_preference  rp)

Sets the read_preference for this database.

Note
Modifications at this level do not affect existing collection instances that have come from this database, but do affect new ones. New collections will receive a copy of the new read_preference for this database upon instantiation.
See also
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/read-preference/
Parameters
rpthe new read_preference.
class read_preference mongocxx::database::read_preference ( ) const

The current read preference for this database.

See also
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/read-preference/
Returns
the current read_preference
bsoncxx::document::value mongocxx::database::run_command ( bsoncxx::document::view_or_value  command)

Runs a command against this database.

See also
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.runCommand/
Parameters
commanddocument representing the command to be run.
Returns
the result of executing the command.
Exceptions
mongocxx::operation_exceptionif the operation fails.
class write_concern mongocxx::database::write_concern ( ) const

The current write_concern for this database.

Returns
the current write_concern
void mongocxx::database::write_concern ( class write_concern  wc)

Sets the write_concern for this database.

Note
Modifications at this level do not affect existing collection instances that have come from this database, but do affect new ones as new collections will receive a copy of the write_concern of this database upon instantiation.
