SYNOPSIS¶
void mongoc_database_set_read_prefs (mongoc_database_t *database,
const mongoc_read_prefs_t *read_prefs);
This function sets the default read preferences to use on operations performed with database. Collections created with mongoc_database_get_collection() <> after this call will inherit these read preferences.
The global default is MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY: if the client is connected to a replica set it reads from the primary, otherwise it reads from the current MongoDB server.
Please see the MongoDB website for a description of Read Preferences <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/read-preference/>.
PARAMETERS¶
- database: A mongoc_database_t <>.
- read_prefs: A mongoc_read_prefs_t <>.
