3 Basic Operations

(require (planet jaymccarthy/mongodb:1:3/basic/main))

The basic API of MongoDB is provided by this module.

3.1 Servers

(mongo? x) → boolean?

x : any/c

A test for Mongo servers.

(create-mongo [#:host host #:port port]) → mongo?

host : string = "localhost"

port : port-number? = 27017

Creates a connection to the specified Mongo server.

(mongo-list-databases m) → (vectorof bson-document/c)

m : mongo?

Returns information about the databases on a server.

(mongo-db-names m) → (listof string?)

m : mongo?

Returns the names of the databases on the server.

3.2 Databases

(struct mongo-db (mongo name))

mongo : mongo?

name : string?

A structure representing a Mongo database.

(mongo-db-execute-command! db cmd) → bson-document/c

db : mongo-db?

cmd : bson-document/c

Executes command cmd on the database db and returns Mongo’s response. Refer to List of Database Commands for more details.

(mongo-db-collections db) → (listof string?)

db : mongo-db?

Returns a list of collection names in the database.

(mongo-db-create-collection!		db
		name
		#:capped? capped?
		#:size size
	[	#:max max])

→ mongo-collection?

db : mongo-db?

name : string?

capped? : boolean?

size : number?

max : (or/c false/c number?) = #f

Creates a new collection in the database and returns a handle to it. Refer to Capped Collections for details on the options.

(mongo-db-drop-collection! db name) → bson-document/c

db : mongo-db?

name : string?

Drops a collection from the database.

(mongo-db-drop db) → bson-document/c

db : mongo-db?

Drops a database from its server.

mongo-db-profiling/c : contract?

Defined as (symbols 'none 'low 'all).

(mongo-db-profiling db) → mongo-db-profiling/c

db : mongo-db?

Returns the profiling level of the database.

(set-mongo-db-profiling! db v) → boolean?

db : mongo-db?

v : mongo-db-profiling/c

Sets the profiling level of the database. Returns #t on success.

(mongo-db-profiling-info db) → bson-document/c

db : mongo-db?

Returns the profiling information from the database. Refer to Database Profiler for more details.

(mongo-db-valid-collection? db name) → boolean?

db : mongo-db?

name : string?

Returns #t if name is a valid collection.

3.3 Collections

(struct mongo-collection (db name))

db : mongo-db?

name : string?

A structure representing a Mongo collection.

(mongo-collection-drop! mc) → void

mc : mongo-collection?

Drops the collection from its database.

(mongo-collection-valid? mc) → boolean?

mc : mongo-collection?

Returns #t if mc is a valid collection.

(mongo-collection-full-name mc) → string?

mc : mongo-collection?

Returns the full name of the collection.

(mongo-collection-find		mc
		query
	[	#:tailable? tailable?
		#:slave-okay? slave-okay?
		#:no-timeout? no-timeout?
		#:selector selector
		#:skip skip
		#:limit limit])

→ mongo-cursor?

mc : mongo-collection?

query : bson-document/c

tailable? : boolean? = #f

slave-okay? : boolean? = #f

no-timeout? : boolean? = #f

selector : (or/c false/c bson-document/c) = #f

skip : int32? = 0

limit : (or/c false/c int32?) = #f

Performs a query in the collection. Refer to Querying for more details.

If limit is #f, then a limit of 2 is sent. This is the smallest limit that creates a server-side cursor, because 1 is interpreted as -1.

(mongo-collection-insert-docs! mc docs) → void

mc : mongo-collection?

docs : (sequenceof bson-document/c)

Inserts a sequence of documents into the collection.

(mongo-collection-insert-one! mc doc) → void

mc : mongo-collection?

doc : bson-document/c

Insert an document into the collection.

(mongo-collection-insert! mc doc ...) → void

mc : mongo-collection?

doc : bson-document/c

Inserts any number of documents into the collection.

(mongo-collection-remove! mc sel) → void

mc : mongo-collection?

sel : bson-document/c

Removes documents matching the selector. Refer to Removing for more details.

(mongo-collection-modify! mc sel mod) → void

mc : mongo-collection?

sel : bson-document/c

mod : bson-document/c

Modifies all documents matching the selector according to mod. Refer to Modifier Operations for more details.

(mongo-collection-replace! mc sel doc) → void

mc : mongo-collection?

sel : bson-document/c

doc : bson-document/c

Replaces the first document matching the selector with obj.

(mongo-collection-repsert! mc sel doc) → void

mc : mongo-collection?

sel : bson-document/c

doc : bson-document/c

If a document matches the selector, it is replaced; otherwise the document is inserted. Refer to Upserts with Modifiers for more details on using modifiers.

(mongo-collection-count mc [query]) → exact-integer?

mc : mongo-collection?

query : bson-document/c = empty

Returns the number of documents matching the query.

3.3.1 Indexing

Refer to Indexes for more details on indexing.

(mongo-collection-index! mc spec [name]) → void

mc : mongo-collection?

spec : bson-document/c

name : string? = ....

Creates an index of the collection. A name will be automatically generated if not specified.

(mongo-collection-indexes mc) → mongo-cursor?

mc : mongo-collection?

Queries for index information.

(mongo-collection-drop-index! mc name) → void

mc : mongo-collection?

name : string?

Drops an index by name.

3.4 Cursors

Query results are returned as Mongo cursors.

A Mongo cursor is a sequence of BSON documents.

(mongo-cursor? x) → boolean?

x : any/c

A test for Mongo cursors.

(mongo-cursor-done? mc) → boolean?

mc : mongo-cursor?

Returns #t if the cursor has no more answers. #f otherwise.

(mongo-cursor-kill! mc) → void

mc : mongo-cursor?

Frees the server resources for the cursor.
