NAME
mongoc_database_aggregate - mongoc_database_aggregate()
SYNOPSIS
mongoc_cursor_t *
mongoc_database_aggregate (mongoc_database_t *database,
const bson_t *pipeline,
const bson_t *opts,
const mongoc_read_prefs_t *read_prefs)
BSON_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT;
PARAMETERS
• database: A mongoc_database_t.
• pipeline: A bson_t, either a BSON array or a BSON document containing an array field
named "pipeline".
• opts: A bson_t containing options for the command, or NULL.
• read_prefs: A mongoc_read_prefs_t or NULL.
opts may be NULL or a BSON document with additional command options:
• readConcern: Construct a mongoc_read_concern_t and use mongoc_read_concern_append to add
the read concern to opts. See the example code for mongoc_client_read_command_with_opts.
Read concern requires MongoDB 3.2 or later, otherwise an error is returned.
• writeConcern: Construct a mongoc_write_concern_t and use mongoc_write_concern_append to
add the write concern to opts. See the example code for
mongoc_client_write_command_with_opts.
• sessionId: First, construct a mongoc_client_session_t with mongoc_client_start_session.
You can begin a transaction with mongoc_client_session_start_transaction, optionally
with a mongoc_transaction_opt_t that overrides the options inherited from database, and
use mongoc_client_session_append to add the session to opts. See the example code for
mongoc_client_session_t.
• bypassDocumentValidation: Set to true to skip server-side schema validation of the
provided BSON documents.
• collation: Configure textual comparisons. See Setting Collation Order, and the MongoDB
Manual entry on Collation. Collation requires MongoDB 3.2 or later, otherwise an error
is returned.
• serverId: To target a specific server, include an int32 "serverId" field. Obtain the id
by calling mongoc_client_select_server, then mongoc_server_description_id on its return
value.
• batchSize: An int32 representing number of documents requested to be returned on each
call to mongoc_cursor_next
• let: A BSON document consisting of any number of parameter names, each followed by
definitions of constants in the MQL Aggregate Expression language
For a list of all options, see the MongoDB Manual entry on the aggregate command.
DESCRIPTION
This function creates a cursor which sends the aggregate command on the underlying
database upon the first call to mongoc_cursor_next(). For more information on building
aggregation pipelines, see the MongoDB Manual entry on the aggregate command. Note that
the pipeline must start with a compatible stage that does not require an underlying
collection (e.g. "$currentOp", "$listLocalSessions").
Read preferences, read and write concern, and collation can be overridden by various
sources. The highest-priority sources for these options are listed first in the following
table. In a transaction, read concern and write concern are prohibited in opts and the
read preference must be primary or NULL. Write concern is applied from opts, or if opts
has no write concern and the aggregation pipeline includes "$out", the write concern is
applied from database.
┌─────────────────┬──────────────┬───────────────┬───────────┐
│Read Preferences │ Read Concern │ Write Concern │ Collation │
├─────────────────┼──────────────┼───────────────┼───────────┤
│read_prefs │ opts │ opts │ opts │
├─────────────────┼──────────────┼───────────────┼───────────┤
│Transaction │ Transaction │ Transaction │ │
├─────────────────┼──────────────┼───────────────┼───────────┤
│database │ database │ database │ │
└─────────────────┴──────────────┴───────────────┴───────────┘
See the example for transactions and for the "distinct" command with opts.
This function is considered a retryable read operation unless the pipeline contains a
write stage like $out or $merge. Upon a transient error (a network error, errors due to
replica set failover, etc.) the operation is safely retried once. If retryreads is false
in the URI (see mongoc_uri_t) the retry behavior does not apply.
RETURNS
This function returns a newly allocated mongoc_cursor_t that should be freed with
mongoc_cursor_destroy() when no longer in use. The returned mongoc_cursor_t is never NULL,
even on error. The user must call mongoc_cursor_next() on the returned mongoc_cursor_t to
execute the initial command.
Cursor errors can be checked with mongoc_cursor_error_document. It always fills out the
bson_error_t if an error occurred, and optionally includes a server reply document if the
error occurred server-side.
WARNING:
Failure to handle the result of this function is a programming error.
EXAMPLE
#include <bson/bson.h>
#include <mongoc/mongoc.h>
static mongoc_cursor_t *
current_op_query (mongoc_client_t *client)
{
mongoc_cursor_t *cursor;
mongoc_database_t *database;
bson_t *pipeline;
pipeline = BCON_NEW ("pipeline",
"[",
"{",
"$currentOp",
"{",
"}",
"}",
"]");
/* $currentOp must be run on the admin database */
database = mongoc_client_get_database (client, "admin");
cursor = mongoc_database_aggregate (
database, pipeline, NULL, NULL);
bson_destroy (pipeline);
mongoc_database_destroy (database);
return cursor;
