PHP Manual: Adds a write operation to a batch

Description

public bool MongoWriteBatch::add ( array $item )

Adds a write operation to the batch.

If $item causes the batch to exceed the maxWriteBatchSize or maxBsonObjectSize limits, the driver will internally split the batches into multiple write commands upon calling MongoWriteBatch::execute.

Parameters

item

An array that describes a write operation. The structure of this value depends on the batch's operation type.

Batch type Argument expectation

MongoWriteBatch::COMMAND_INSERT The document to add.

MongoWriteBatch::COMMAND_UPDATE

Raw update operation.

Required keys are "q" and "u", which correspond to the $criteria and $new_object parameters of MongoCollection::update, respectively.

Optional keys are "multi" and "upsert", which correspond to the "multiple" and "upsert" options for MongoCollection::update, respectively. If unspecified, both options default to FALSE.

MongoWriteBatch::COMMAND_DELETE

Raw delete operation.

Required keys are: "q" and "limit", which correspond to the $criteria parameter and "justOne" option of MongoCollection::remove, respectively.

The "limit" option is an integer; however, MongoDB only supports 0 (i.e. remove all matching documents) and 1 (i.e. remove at most one matching document) at this time.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success and throws an exception on failure.

Errors/Exceptions

Exception on parameter parsing failures
Exception on argument validation errors (e.g. missing keys)

Examples

Example #1 MongoWriteBatch::add example

Batching up multiple insert operations


<?php
$mc = new MongoClient("localhost");
$collection = $mc->selectCollection("test", "test");


$docs = array();
$docs[] = array("my" => "demo");
$docs[] = array("is" => "working");
$docs[] = array("pretty" => "well");

$batch = new MongoInsertBatch($collection);
foreach($docs as $document) {
    $batch->add($document);
}
$batch->execute(array("w" => 1));
?>

Example #2 MongoWriteBatch::add example

Batching up multiple update operations

    "u" => array('$set' => array("try" => 1)),
    "multi"  => false, /* default value */
