Example #1 mysql_xdevapi\Schema::getCollectionAsTable example

<?php
$session = mysql_xdevapi\getSession("mysqlx://user:password@localhost");
$session->sql("DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS addressbook")->execute();
$session->sql("CREATE DATABASE addressbook")->execute();

$schema  = $session->getSchema("addressbook");
$collect = $schema->createCollection("people");
$collect->add('{"name": "Fred",  "age": 21, "job": "Construction"}')->execute();
$collect->add('{"name": "Wilma", "age": 23, "job": "Teacher"}')->execute();

$table      = $schema->getCollectionAsTable("people");
$collection = $schema->getCollection("people");

var_dump($table);
var_dump($collection);

The above example will output something similar to:

object(mysql_xdevapi\Table)#4 (1) {
  ["name"]=>
  string(6) "people"
}

object(mysql_xdevapi\Collection)#5 (1) {
  ["name"]=>
  string(6) "people"
}
