💅 MONGOC_BULKWR...PTS_SET_UPSERT(3) 💅

okay so bestie, you're looking at a page from the libmongoc manual — yes, the MongoDB C driver, the real one, no cap — and this function is genuinely so niche and so specific that i need you to lock in with me for like thirty seconds. it's giving "small function, big consequences." 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
mongoc_bulkwrite_updateoneopts_set_upsert (mongoc_bulkwrite_updateoneopts_t *self, bool upsert);

literally just two arguments and a whole lot of "void," because it gives nothing back — it just does. main character energy honestly. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: if upsert is true, this function makes it so that a new document gets created if no document matches the query. 🦋 that's it. that's the whole vibe. no match? boom, new doc. slay.

and now the important part, the "read this twice" part, the "don't come crying to me" part — ngl, it matters:

the upsert option is not sent if you don't call this function. like, it simply doesn't get transmitted. nothing gets shipped. the wire stays quiet. 🙈 and the server's default value is false, so if you skip this call, you're getting the default behavior whether you thought about it or not. highkey worth knowing.

so yeah: this function is how you opt in. calling it = the option goes out. not calling it = the option stays home. periodt. 💅

MongoDB, Inc — they wrote it, they own it, they ate and left no crumbs. 🔥

2009-present, MongoDB, Inc. — that's a long run, and honestly? iconic for them. 💜

so yeah, that's the whole page, bestie — short and sweet, just like this function. 😭

vy bye now 🧚‍♀️💫
