PHP Manual: Execute a database query

Description

final public MongoDB\Driver\Cursor MongoDB\Driver\Manager::executeQuery(string $namespace, MongoDB\Driver\Query $query, arraynull $options = null)

Selects a server according to the "readPreference" option and executes the query on that server.

Default values for the "readPreference" option and Query's "readConcern" option will be inferred from an active transaction (indicated by the "session" option), followed by the connection URI.

Parameters

namespace (string)

A fully qualified namespace (e.g. "databaseName.collectionName").

query (MongoDB\Driver\Query)

The query to execute.

options

**options**
Option	Type	Description
readPreference	MongoDB\Driver\ReadPreference	A read preference to use for selecting a server for the operation.
session	MongoDB\Driver\Session	A session to associate with the operation.

Return Values

Returns MongoDB\Driver\Cursor on success.

Errors/Exceptions

Throws MongoDB\Driver\Exception\InvalidArgumentException on argument parsing errors.
Throws MongoDB\Driver\Exception\ConnectionException if connection to the server fails (for reasons other than authentication).
Throws MongoDB\Driver\Exception\AuthenticationException if authentication is needed and fails.
Throws MongoDB\Driver\Exception\RuntimeException on other errors (e.g. invalid query operators).

Changelog

Version	Description
PECL mongodb 2.0.0	The `options` parameter no longer accepts a MongoDB\Driver\ReadPreference instance.
PECL mongodb 1.21.0	Passing a MongoDB\Driver\ReadPreference object as `options` is deprecated and will be removed in 2.0.
PECL mongodb 1.4.0	The third parameter is now an `options` array. For backwards compatibility, this paramater will still accept a MongoDB\Driver\ReadPreference object.

Examples

Example #1 MongoDB\Driver\Manager::executeQuery example

<?php

$manager = new MongoDB\Driver\Manager("mongodb://localhost:27017");

$bulk = new MongoDB\Driver\BulkWrite;
$bulk->insert(['x' => 1]);
$bulk->insert(['x' => 2]);
$bulk->insert(['x' => 3]);
$manager->executeBulkWrite('db.collection', $bulk);

$filter = ['x' => ['$gt' => 1]];
$options = [
    'projection' => ['_id' => 0],
    'sort' => ['x' => -1],
];

$query = new MongoDB\Driver\Query($filter, $options);
$cursor = $manager->executeQuery('db.collection', $query);

foreach ($cursor as $document) {
    var_dump($document);
}

?>

The above example will output:

object(stdClass)#6 (1) {
  ["x"]=>
  int(3)
}
object(stdClass)#7 (1) {
  ["x"]=>
  int(2)
}

Example #2 Limiting execution time for a query

The "maxTimeMS" MongoDB\Driver\Query option may be used to limit the execution time of a query. Note that this time limit is enforced on the server side and does not take network latency into account. See » Terminate Running Operations in the MongoDB manual for more information.

<?php

$manager = new MongoDB\Driver\Manager('mongodb://localhost:27017');

$filter = ['x' => ['$gt' => 1]];
$options = [
    'maxTimeMS' => 1000,
];

$query = new MongoDB\Driver\Query($filter, $options);
$cursor = $manager->executeQuery('db.collection', $query);

foreach ($cursor as $document) {
    var_dump($document);
}

?>

If the query fails to complete after one second of execution time on the server, a MongoDB\Driver\Exception\ExecutionTimeoutException will be thrown.
