Synopsis¶

bool
mongoc_collection_create_index_with_opts (mongoc_collection_t *collection,
                                          const bson_t *keys,
                                          const mongoc_index_opt_t *index_opts,
                                          const bson_t *command_opts,
                                          bson_t *reply,
                                          bson_error_t *error);

Deprecated¶

This function is deprecated and should not be used in new code. See Creating Indexes.

Parameters¶

collection: A mongoc_collection_t.
keys: A bson_t.
index_opts: A mongoc_index_opt_t.
command_opts: A bson_t with extra options, such as writeConcern or collation, or NULL.
reply: An optional location for a bson_t which will store the server’s reply.
error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

Description¶

This function will request the creation of a new index.

This function will use the createIndexes command. The server’s reply is stored in reply.

If no write concern is provided in command_opts, the collection’s write concern is used.

See mongoc_index_opt_t for options on creating indexes.

Errors¶

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

Returns¶

Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error if there are invalid arguments or a server or network error.

reply is always initialized and must be destroyed with bson_destroy(). If the server is running an obsolete version of MongoDB then reply may be empty, though it will still be initialized.
