MONGOC_DATABASE_DROP_WITH_OPTS(3) libmongoc MONGOC_DATABASE_DROP_WITH_OPTS(3)

SYNOPSIS

bool
mongoc_database_drop_with_opts (mongoc_database_t *database,


                                const bson_t *opts,


                                bson_error_t *error);


PARAMETERS

  • database: A mongoc_database_t <>.
  • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t <> or NULL.

opts may be NULL or a BSON document with additional command options:

  • 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 <>.
  • collation: Configure textual comparisons. See Setting Collation Order <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libmongoc/guides/bulk/#setting-collation-order>, and the MongoDB Manual entry on Collation <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/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.

DESCRIPTION

This function attempts to drop a database on the MongoDB server.

If no write concern is provided in opts, the database's write concern is used.

The encryptedFields document in opts may be used to drop a collection used for Queryable Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libmongoc/guides/queryable-encryption/>.

ERRORS

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

RETURNS

Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error if there are invalid arguments or a server or network error.
