MongoDB\Driver\BulkWrite::update

(mongodb >=1.0.0)

MongoDB\Driver\BulkWrite::updateAdd an update operation to the bulk

Description

public MongoDB\Driver\BulkWrite::update(array|object $filter, array|object $newObj, ?array $updateOptions = null): void

Adds an update operation to the MongoDB\Driver\BulkWrite.

Parameters

filter (array|object)

The » query predicate. An empty predicate will match all documents in the collection.

Note: When evaluating query criteria, MongoDB compares types and values according to its own » comparison rules for BSON types, which differs from PHP's comparison and type juggling rules. When matching a special BSON type the query criteria should use the respective BSON class (e.g. use MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId to match an » ObjectId).

newObj (array|object)

A document containing either update operators (e.g. $set), a replacement document (i.e. only field:value expressions), or an » aggregation pipeline.

updateOptions

updateOptions
Option Type Description Default
arrayFilters array

An array of filter documents that determines which array elements to modify for an update operation on an array field. See » Specify arrayFilters for Array Update Operations in the MongoDB manual for more information.

This option is available in MongoDB 3.6+ and will result in an exception at execution time if specified for an older server version.

collation array|object

» Collation allows users to specify language-specific rules for string comparison, such as rules for lettercase and accent marks. When specifying collation, the "locale" field is mandatory; all other collation fields are optional. For descriptions of the fields, see » Collation Document.

If the collation is unspecified but the collection has a default collation, the operation uses the collation specified for the collection. If no collation is specified for the collection or for the operation, MongoDB uses the simple binary comparison used in prior versions for string comparisons.

This option is available in MongoDB 3.4+ and will result in an exception at execution time if specified for an older server version.

hint string|array|object

Index specification. Specify either the index name as a string or the index key pattern. If specified, then the query system will only consider plans using the hinted index.

This option is available in MongoDB 4.2+ and will result in an exception at execution time if specified for an older server version.

multi bool Update only the first matching document if false, or all matching documents true. This option cannot be true if newObj is a replacement document. false
upsert bool If filter does not match an existing document, insert a single document. The document will be created from newObj if it is a replacement document (i.e. no update operators); otherwise, the operators in newObj will be applied to filter to create the new document. false

Return Values

No value is returned.

Errors/Exceptions

Changelog

Version Description
PECL mongodb 1.7.0 Added the "hint" option.
PECL mongodb 1.6.0 The newObj parameter now accepts an aggregation pipeline. This feature requires MongoDB 4.2+ and will result in an exception at execution time if specified for an older server version.
PECL mongodb 1.5.0 Using the "arrayFilters" option will result in an exception at execution time if unsupported by the server. Previously, no exception would be thrown and the option may have been ignored.
PECL mongodb 1.4.0 Added the "arrayFilters" option.
PECL mongodb 1.2.0 Added the "collation" option.

[
'multi' => false, 'upsert' => false]
);

$manager = new MongoDB\Driver\Manager('mongodb://localhost:27017');
$result = $manager->executeBulkWrite('db.collection', $bulk);
