💅 MONGOC_QUERY_FLAGS_T(3) — Flags for query operations ✨

okay so this is a page from libmongoc (that's the MongoDB C driver, iykyk) and it's literally just about MONGOC_QUERY_FLAGS_T(3) — the little enum of query flags. it's short, it's sweet, and bestie you're gonna get it in like two minutes fr fr 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

typedef enum {
   MONGOC_QUERY_NONE = 0,
   MONGOC_QUERY_TAILABLE_CURSOR = 1 << 1,
   MONGOC_QUERY_SECONDARY_OK = 1 << 2,
   MONGOC_QUERY_OPLOG_REPLAY = 1 << 3,
   MONGOC_QUERY_NO_CURSOR_TIMEOUT = 1 << 4,
   MONGOC_QUERY_AWAIT_DATA = 1 << 5,
   MONGOC_QUERY_EXHAUST = 1 << 6,
   MONGOC_QUERY_PARTIAL = 1 << 7,
} mongoc_query_flags_t;

like, look at those bit shifts. chef's kiss. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so these flags are the ones that correspond to the MongoDB wire protocol — no cap, that's literally what they are. 💖

you can bitwise-or them together (yes, | them, that's the move), and they may modify how a query is performed in the MongoDB server. that's the whole vibe check.

🎀 FLAG VALUES 🎀

okay here's the lineup, one by one, no skips:

  • MONGOC_QUERY_NONE — specify no query flags. it's the nothing girlie. the blank slate. the = 0.
  • MONGOC_QUERY_TAILABLE_CURSOR — the cursor will not be closed when the last data is retrieved, so you can resume this cursor later. it's giving "don't leave, i'm not done talking" energy 😭
  • MONGOC_QUERY_SECONDARY_OK — allow query of replica set secondaries. let the side characters speak, honestly 🫶
  • MONGOC_QUERY_OPLOG_REPLAY — used internally by MongoDB. main character behaviour that you're not invited to, bestie, and that's fine 💅
  • MONGOC_QUERY_NO_CURSOR_TIMEOUT — okay so normally the server times out an idle cursor after an inactivity period (10 minutes). this prevents that. your cursor stays unbothered, moisturized, in its lane ✨
  • MONGOC_QUERY_AWAIT_DATA — use this with MONGOC_QUERY_TAILABLE_CURSOR. it'll block rather than returning no data, and after a period, it times out. patient but not that patient 🌸
  • MONGOC_QUERY_EXHAUST — unused. that's it. that's the whole description. it's the forgotten sibling 💀
  • MONGOC_QUERY_PARTIAL — get partial results from mongos if some shards are down (instead of throwing an error). like, you take what you can get instead of having a whole meltdown 🔥
⚠️ quick vibe-check warning for you: these flags correspond to the wire protocol and may modify how a query is performed in the MongoDB server — so know what you're or-ing together before you send it. 🙈
