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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ database()

mongocxx::v_noabi::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

◆ aggregate() [1/2]

cursor mongocxx::v_noabi::database::aggregate	(	const client_session &	session,
		const pipeline &	pipeline,
		const options::aggregate &	options = `options::aggregate()`
	)

Runs an aggregation framework pipeline against this database for pipeline stages that do not require an underlying collection, such as $currentOp and $listLocalSessions.

Parameters

session	The mongocxx::v_noabi::client_session with which to perform the aggregation.
pipeline	The pipeline of aggregation operations to perform.
options	Optional arguments, see mongocxx::v_noabi::options::aggregate.

Returns: A mongocxx::v_noabi::cursor with the results. If the query fails, the cursor throws mongocxx::v_noabi::query_exception when the returned cursor is iterated.

See also: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/aggregate/#dbcmd.aggregate

Note: In order to pass a read concern to this, you must use the database level set read concern - database::read_concern(rc). (Write concern supported only for MongoDB 3.4+).

◆ aggregate() [2/2]

cursor mongocxx::v_noabi::database::aggregate	(	const pipeline &	pipeline,
		const options::aggregate &	options = `options::aggregate()`
