MONGOC_COMMON_TASK_EXAMPLES(3) libmongoc MONGOC_COMMON_TASK_EXAMPLES(3)

NAME

mongoc_common_task_examples - Common Tasks

Drivers for some other languages provide helper functions to perform certain common tasks. In the C Driver we must explicitly build commands to send to the server.

SETUP

First we'll write some code to insert sample data:

doc-common-insert.c

/* Don't try to compile this file on its own. It's meant to be #included

by example code */ /* Insert some sample data */ bool insert_data (mongoc_collection_t *collection) {
mongoc_bulk_operation_t *bulk;
enum N { ndocs = 4 };
bson_t *docs[ndocs];
bson_error_t error;
int i = 0;
bool ret;
bulk = mongoc_collection_create_bulk_operation_with_opts (collection, NULL);
docs[0] = BCON_NEW ("x", BCON_DOUBLE (1.0), "tags", "[", "dog", "cat", "]");
docs[1] = BCON_NEW ("x", BCON_DOUBLE (2.0), "tags", "[", "cat", "]");
docs[2] = BCON_NEW (
"x", BCON_DOUBLE (2.0), "tags", "[", "mouse", "cat", "dog", "]");
docs[3] = BCON_NEW ("x", BCON_DOUBLE (3.0), "tags", "[", "]");
for (i = 0; i < ndocs; i++) {
mongoc_bulk_operation_insert (bulk, docs[i]);
bson_destroy (docs[i]);
docs[i] = NULL;
}
ret = mongoc_bulk_operation_execute (bulk, NULL, &error);
if (!ret) {
fprintf (stderr, "Error inserting data: %s\n", error.message);
}
mongoc_bulk_operation_destroy (bulk);
return ret; } /* A helper which we'll use a lot later on */ void print_res (const bson_t *reply) {
char *str;
BSON_ASSERT (reply);
str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (reply, NULL);
printf ("%s\n", str);
bson_free (str); }


EXPLAIN COMMAND

This is how to use the explain command in MongoDB 3.2+:

explain.c

bool
explain (mongoc_collection_t *collection)
{

bson_t *command;
bson_t reply;
bson_error_t error;
bool res;
command = BCON_NEW ("explain",
"{",
"find",
BCON_UTF8 (COLLECTION_NAME),
"filter",
"{",
"x",
BCON_INT32 (1),
"}",
"}");
res = mongoc_collection_command_simple (
collection, command, NULL, &reply, &error);
if (!res) {
fprintf (stderr, "Error with explain: %s\n", error.message);
goto cleanup;
}
/* Do something with the reply */
print_res (&reply); cleanup:
bson_destroy (&reply);
bson_destroy (command);
return res; }

First launch two separate instances of mongod (must be done from separate shells):

$ mongod


$ mkdir /tmp/db2
$ mongod --dbpath /tmp/db2 --port 27018 # second instance


Now compile and run the example program:

$ cd examples/common_operations/$ gcc -Wall -o example common-operations.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libmongoc-1.0)$ ./example localhost:27017 localhost:27018
