💅 MONGOC_CLIENT_GET_DATABASE(3) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the libmongoc manual page for mongoc_client_get_database — she's short, she's sweet, she's iconic. let's get into it ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mongoc_database_t *
mongoc_client_get_database (mongoc_client_t *client,
                            const char *name);

Get a newly allocated mongoc_database_t for the database named name. that's it. that's the whole gig. 💖

✨ TIP: databases are automatically created on the MongoDB server the moment you insert the first document into a collection. so like… there is literally no need to create a database manually. the server handles it. she's got main character energy and does it herself. periodt. 🫶

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • client: A mongoc_client_t. your client. your connection. your girl. 💅
  • name: The name of the database. exactly what it says on the tin, no cap. 🎀

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

A newly allocated mongoc_database_t that should be freed with mongoc_database_destroy() when no longer in use. and bestie, please actually free it — don't just leave her hanging, that's giving leak 😭💀
