MongoDB\Collection::dropIndexes()

Definition

MongoDB\Collection::dropIndexes

Drop all indexes in the collection, except for the required index on the _id field.

function dropIndexes(array $options = []): array|object

This method has the following parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$indexName string| MongoDB\Model\IndexInfo The name or model object of the index to drop. View the existing indexes on the collection using the listIndexes() method.
$options array Optional. An array specifying the desired options.

The $options parameter supports the following options:

Option Type Description
comment mixed

Optional. Enables users to specify an arbitrary comment to help trace the operation through the database profiler, currentOp output, and logs.

This is not supported for server versions prior to 4.4 and will result in an exception at execution time if used.

New in version 1.13.

maxTimeMS integer

Optional. The cumulative time limit in milliseconds for processing operations on the cursor. MongoDB aborts the operation at the earliest following interrupt point.

New in version 1.3.

session MongoDB\Driver\Session

Optional. Client session to associate with the operation.

New in version 1.3.

typeMap array

Optional. The type map to apply to cursors, which determines how BSON documents are converted to PHP values. Defaults to the collection’s type map.

This will be used for the returned command result document.

writeConcern MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern

Optional. Write concern to use for the operation. Defaults to the collection’s write concern.

It is not possible to specify a write concern for individual operations as part of a transaction. Instead, set the writeConcern option when starting the transaction with startTransaction.

Return Values

An array or object with the result document of the dropIndexes command. The return type will depend on the typeMap option.

Errors/Exceptions

MongoDB\Exception\UnsupportedException if options are used and not supported by the selected server (e.g. collation, readConcern, writeConcern).

MongoDB\Exception\InvalidArgumentException for errors related to the parsing of parameters or options.

MongoDB\Driver\Exception\RuntimeException for other errors at the driver level (e.g. connection errors).

Example

The following drops all indexes from the restaurants collection in the test database:

<?php

$collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->restaurants;

$result = $collection->dropIndexes();

var_dump($result);

The output would then resemble:

object(MongoDB\Model\BSONDocument)#9 (1) {
  ["storage":"ArrayObject":private]=>
  array(3) {
    ["nIndexesWas"]=>
    int(3)
    ["msg"]=>
    string(38) "non-_id indexes dropped for collection"
    ["ok"]=>
    float(1)
  }
}
