Class DBCollection



  • @ThreadSafe
    public class DBCollection
    extends Object
    Implementation of a database collection. A typical invocation sequence is thus:
     
     MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient(new ServerAddress("localhost", 27017));
     DB db = mongoClient.getDB("mydb");
     DBCollection collection = db.getCollection("test"); 
     
    To get a collection to use, just specify the name of the collection to the getCollection(String collectionName) method:
     
     DBCollection coll = db.getCollection("testCollection"); 
     
    Once you have the collection object, you can insert documents into the collection:
     
     BasicDBObject doc = new BasicDBObject("name", "MongoDB").append("type", "database")
                                                             .append("count", 1)
                                                             .append("info", new BasicDBObject("x", 203).append("y", 102));
     coll.insert(doc); 
     
    To show that the document we inserted in the previous step is there, we can do a simple findOne() operation to get the first document in the collection:
     
     DBObject myDoc = coll.findOne();
     System.out.println(myDoc); 
     
    See Mongo.getDB(String) for further information about the effective deprecation of this class.

        public WriteResult save​(DBObject document)
        Update an existing document or insert a document depending on the parameter. If the document does not contain an '_id' field, then the method performs an insert with the specified fields in the document as well as an '_id' field with a unique objectId value. If the document contains an '_id' field, then the method performs an upsert querying the collection on the '_id' field:
        • If a document does not exist with the specified '_id' value, the method performs an insert with the specified fields in the document.
        • If a document exists with the specified '_id' value, the method performs an update, replacing all field in the existing record with the fields from the document.
        Parameters:
        document - DBObject to save to the collection.
        Returns:
        the result of the operation

If the document contains an '_id' field, then the method performs an upsert querying the collection on the '_id' field:
        • If a document does not exist with the specified '_id' value, the method performs an insert with the specified fields in the document.
        • If a document exists with the specified '_id' value, the method performs an update, replacing all field in the existing record with the fields from the document.

      • initializeOrderedBulkOperation

        public BulkWriteOperation initializeOrderedBulkOperation​()

        Creates a builder for an ordered bulk write operation, consisting of an ordered collection of write requests, which can be any combination of inserts, updates, replaces, or removes. Write requests included in the bulk operations will be executed in order, and will halt on the first failure.

        Note: While this bulk write operation will execute on MongoDB 2.4 servers and below, the writes will be performed one at a time, as that is the only way to preserve the semantics of the value returned from execution or the exception thrown.

        Note: While a bulk write operation with a mix of inserts, updates, replaces, and removes is supported, the implementation will batch up consecutive requests of the same type and send them to the server one at a time. For example, if a bulk write operation consists of 10 inserts followed by 5 updates, followed by 10 more inserts, it will result in three round trips to the server.

        Returns:
        the builder

        initializeOrderedBulkOp()
      • initializeUnorderedBulkOperation

        public BulkWriteOperation initializeUnorderedBulkOperation​()

        Creates a builder for an unordered bulk operation, consisting of an unordered collection of write requests, which can be any combination of inserts, updates, replaces, or removes. Write requests included in the bulk operation will be executed in an undefined order, and all requests will be executed even if some fail.

        Note: While this bulk write operation will execute on MongoDB 2.4 servers and below, the writes will be performed one at a time, as that is the only way to preserve the semantics of the value returned from execution or the exception thrown.

        Returns:
