DESCRIPTION

METHODS

admin_fsync_lock

    my $ok = admin_fsync_lock;

    my $ok = admin_unlock;

call unlock on current server.

    my $result = admin_server_status;
    print 'server uptime:',$result->{uptime};

    print 'logging level:',$result->{was},"\n";

Get diag logging level.

db_stats

    my $stats_info = db_stats;

Return current database stats information;

db_is_master

    $ok = db_is_master;

Return if current server is master.

db_eval($code,$args?)

    my $result = db_eval 'function(x) { return "hello, "+x; }', ["world"];

Evaluate a JavaScript expression on the Mongo server.

db_current_op

    my $op = db_current_op;

Return current operation in the db.

db_filemd5($file_id)

    $md5_hex = db_filemd5 $file_id;

return md5 hex value of the file.

db_re_index($collection_name?)

    $ok = db_re_index;

rebuild the collection indexes (default collection is context_collection).

db_distinct

    $result = db_distinct;

Performance a distinct query.

db_group

    $result = db_group {
        reduce => 'function(doc,prev){ prev[doc.name]++; }',
        key => { key1 => 1,key2 => 1 },
        initial => { counter => 0.0 }
    };
    
    # or
    $result = db_group {
        reduce => 'function(doc,prev){ prev[doc.name]++; }',
        keyf => 'function(doc) { return {"x" : doc.x};',
        initial => {counter => 0.0}
    };

Returns an array of grouped items of current context collection. options:

reduce

The reduce function aggregates (reduces) the objects iterated. Typical operations of a reduce function include summing and counting. reduce takes two arguments: the current document being iterated over and the aggregation counter object. In the example above, these arguments are named obj and prev.

key

Fields to group by.

keyf?

An optional function returning a "key object" to be used as the grouping key. Use this instead of key to specify a key that is not an existing member of the object (or, to access embedded members). Set in lieu of key.

initial?

initial value of the aggregation counter object.

    initial => { counter => 0.0 }

WARNING: As a known bug, in initial, if you assign a zero numberic value to some attribute, you must defined zero as float format, meant must be 0.0 but not 0, cause 0 will passed as boolean value, then you will got 'nan' value in retval.

finalize?

An optional function to be run on each item in the result set just before the item is returned. Can either modify the item (e.g., add an average field given a count and a total) or return a replacement object (returning a new object with just _id and average fields).

more about group, see: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Aggregation#Aggregation-Group.

db_map_reduce

    $result = db_map_reduce { map => 'javascript function',reduce => 'javascript function' };

map, reduce, and finalize functions are written in JavaScript.

valid options are:

map => mapfunction
reduce => reducefunction
query => query filter object
sort => sort the query. useful for optimization
limit => number of objects to return from collection
out => output-collection name
keeptemp => boolean
finalize => finalizefunction
scope => object where fields go into javascript global scope
verbose => boolean

more about map/reduce, see: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MapReduce.

db_run_command

    my $result = db_run_command {dbstats:1};

Run the command on current database. shortcut of "run_command" in MongoDB::Database.

db_list_commands

    my $command_list = db_list_commands;
    foreach my $cmd (keys %{$command_list}) {
        say 'Command name:',$cmd,"\n";
        say 'adminOnly:' => $cmd->{adminOnly};
        say 'help:' => $cmd->{help};
        say 'lockType:' => $cmd->{lockType};
        say 'slaveOk:' => $cmd->{slaveOk};
    }

Get a hash reference of all db commands.

db_add_user($username,$password,$readonly?)

    $ok = db_add_user('foo','12345');

Add user into current database.

db_remove_user($username)

    $ok = db_remove_user $username;

Remove given user from current database.

db_find_and_modify($options)

    my $next_val = db_find_and_modify {
        query => { _id => 'foo'},
        update => { '$inc' => { value => 1 } }
    }
    
    # simply remove the object to be returned
    my $obj = db_find_and_modify({
        query => { _id => 10 },
        remove => 1
    });

MongoDB 1.3+ supports a "find, modify, and return" command. This command can be used to atomically modify a document (at most one) and return it. Note:that the document returned will not include the modifications made on the update. The options can include 'sort' option which is useful when storing queue-like data.

option parameters

At least one of the update or remove parameters is required; the other arguments are optional.

query

A query selector document for matching the desired document. default is {}.

sort

if multiple docs match, choose the first one in the specified sort order as the object to manipulate. default is {}.

remove = boolean>

set to a true to remove the object before returning. default is false.

update

a modifier object. default is undef.

new = boolean>

set to true if you want to return the modified object rather than the original. Ignored for remove. default is false.
