PlanCache.listQueryShapes()

Definition

PlanCache.listQueryShapes()

Displays the query shapes for which cached query plans exist.

The query optimizer only caches the plans for those query shapes that can have more than one viable plan.

The method is only available from the plan cache object of a specific collection; i.e.

db.collection.getPlanCache().listQueryShapes()
Returns:Array of query shape documents.

The method wraps the planCacheListQueryShapes command.

Required Access

On systems running with authorization, a user must have access that includes the planCacheRead action.

Example

The following returns the query shapes that have cached plans for the orders collection:

db.orders.getPlanCache().listQueryShapes()

The method returns an array of the query shapes currently in the cache. In the example, the orders collection had cached query plans associated with the following shapes:

[
  {
    "query" : { "qty" : { "$gt" : 10 } },
    "sort" : { "ord_date" : 1 },
    "projection" : { }
  },
  {
    "query" : { "$or" :
       [
         { "qty" : { "$gt" : 15 }, "item" : "xyz123" },
         { "status" : "A" }
       ]
    },
    "sort" : { },
    "projection" : { }
  },
  {
    "query" : { "$or" : [ { "qty" : { "$gt" : 15 } }, { "status" : "A" } ] },
    "sort" : { },
    "projection" : { }
  }
]
