listCollections

Definition定义

listCollections

Retrieves information, including the names and creation options, for the collections and views in a database.检索数据库中集合和视图的信息,包括名称和创建选项。

The listCollections command returns a document that contains information you can use to create a cursor on the collection.listCollections命令返回一个文档,该文档包含可用于在集合上创建游标的信息。

mongosh provides the db.getCollectionInfos() and the db.getCollectionNames() helper methods.mongosh提供了db.getCollectionInfos()db.getCollectionNames()辅助方法。

Syntax语法

The command has the following syntax:该命令具有以下语法:

db.runCommand(
{
listCollections: 1,
filter: <document>,
nameOnly: <boolean>,
authorizedCollections: <boolean>,
comment: <any>
}
)

Command Fields命令字段

The command can take the following optional fields:该命令可以采用以下可选字段:

Field字段Type类型Description描述
filterdocumentOptional.可选的。A query expression to filter the list of collections.用于筛选集合列表的查询表达式。
You can specify a query expression on any of the fields returned by listCollections. 您可以在listCollections返回的任何字段上指定查询表达式。
nameOnlybooleanOptional.可选的。A flag to indicate whether the command should return just the collection/view names and type or return both the name and other information.一个标志,用于指示命令应仅返回集合/视图名称和类型,还是同时返回名称和其他信息。
Returning just the name and type (view or collection) does not take collection-level locks whereas returning full collection information locks each collection in the database.仅返回名称和类型(viewcollection)不会获得集合级别的锁定,而返回完整的集合信息会锁定数据库中的每个集合。
The default value is false. 默认值为false
Note
When nameOnly is true, your filter expression can only filter based on a collection's name and type.nameOnlytrue时,filter表达式只能根据集合的名称和类型进行筛选。 No other fields are available. 没有其他字段可用。
authorizedCollectionsbooleanOptional.可选的。A flag, when set to true and used with nameOnly: true, that allows a user without the required privilege (i.e. listCollections action on the database) to run the command when access control is enforced.一个标志,当设置为true并与nameOnly:true一起使用时,它允许没有所需权限(即数据库上的listCollections操作)的用户在强制执行访问控制时运行该命令。
When both authorizedCollections and nameOnly options are set to true, the command returns only those collections for which the user has privileges. authorizedCollectionsnameOnly选项都设置为true时,该命令仅返回用户具有权限的集合。For example, if a user has find action on specific collections, the command returns only those collections; or, if a user has find or any other action, on the database resource, the command lists all collections in the database.例如,如果用户对特定集合具有find操作,则该命令仅返回这些集合;或者,如果用户对数据库资源具有find或任何其他操作,则该命令会列出数据库中的所有集合。
The default value is false. 默认值为falseThat is, the user must have listCollections action on the database to run the command.也就是说,用户必须对数据库执行listCollections操作才能运行该命令。
For a user who has listCollections action on the database, this option has no effect since the user has privileges to list the collections in the database.对于对数据库具有listCollections操作的用户,此选项无效,因为该用户具有在数据库中列出集合的权限。
When used without nameOnly: true, this option has no effect. That is, the user must have the required privileges to run the command when access control is enforced. 在不带nameOnly:true的情况下使用时,此选项无效。也就是说,在实施访问控制时,用户必须具有运行命令所需的权限。Otherwise, the user is unauthorized to run the command. 否则,用户无权运行该命令。
commentanyOptional.可选的。
A user-provided comment to attach to this command. Once set, this comment appears alongside records of this command in the following locations: 要附加到此命令的用户提供的注释。设置后,此注释将与此命令的记录一起显示在以下位置: A comment can be any valid BSON type (string, integer, object, array, etc). 注释可以是任何有效的BSON类型(字符串、整数、对象、数组等)。
New in version 4.4. 4.4版新增。

Behavior行为

Filter筛选器

Use a filter to limit the results of listCollections. 使用筛选器限制listCollections的结果。You can specify a filter on any of the fields returned in the listCollections result set.您可以对listCollections结果集中返回的任何字段指定筛选器。

Locks锁定

listCollections lock behavior:锁定行为:

  • Earlier than MongoDB 5.0, listCollections takes an intent shared lock lock on each collection in the database when listCollections holds an intent shared lock on the database.在MongoDB 5.0之前,当listCollections对数据库持有意向共享锁时,listCollections会对数据库中的每个集合持有意向共享锁定。
  • Starting in MongoDB 5.0, listCollections doesn't take an intent shared lock on a collection or database. 从MongoDB 5.0开始,listCollections不会对集合或数据库使用意向共享锁。listCollections isn't blocked by operations holding an exclusive write lock on a collection.未被对集合持有独占写锁的操作阻止。

To learn about locks, see FAQ: Concurrency.要了解有关锁的信息,请参阅常见问题解答:并发

Client Disconnection客户端断开连接

Starting in MongoDB 4.2, if the client that issued listCollections disconnects before the operation completes, MongoDB marks listCollections for termination using killOp.从MongoDB 4.2开始,如果在操作完成之前发出listCollections的客户端断开连接,MongoDB会使用killOp标记listCollections以终止。

Replica Set Member State Restriction副本集成员状态限制

Starting in MongoDB 4.4, to run on a replica set member, listCollections operations require the member to be in PRIMARY or SECONDARY state. 从MongoDB 4.4开始,要在副本集成员上运行,listCollections操作需要该成员处于PRIMARYSECONDARY状态。If the member is in another state, such as STARTUP2, the operation errors.如果成员处于其他状态,例如STARTUP2,则操作将出错。

In previous versions, the operations also run when the member is in STARTUP2. 在以前的版本中,成员处于STARTUP2时也会运行这些操作。The operations wait until the member transitioned to RECOVERING.操作将等待,直到成员转换到RECOVERING

Required Access所需访问权限

The listCollections command requires the listCollections action when access control is enforced. 在实施访问控制时,listCollections命令需要listCollections操作。Users must have privileges that grant the listCollections action on the database to run listCollections.用户必须具有对数据库授予listCollections操作的权限才能运行listCollections

For example, the following command grants the privilege to run db.getCollectionInfos() against the test database:例如,以下命令授予对test数据库运行db.getCollectionInfos()的权限:

{ resource: { db: "test", collection: "" }, actions: [ "listCollections" ] }

The built-in role read provides the privilege to run listCollections for a specific database.内置的角色read提供了为特定数据库运行listCollections的权限。

Users without the required read privilege can run listCollections when authorizedCollections and nameOnly are both set to true. authorizedCollectionsnameOnly都设置为true时,没有所需read权限的用户可以运行listCollectionsIn this case, the command returns the names and types for collection(s) where the user has privileges.在这种情况下,该命令返回用户具有权限的集合的名称和类型。

For example, consider a user with a role that grants the following find privilege:例如,考虑具有授予以下find权限的角色的用户:

{ resource: { db: "sales", collection: "currentQuarter" }, actions: [ "find" ] }

The user can run listCollections if authorizedCollections and nameOnly are both set to true.如果authorizedCollectionsnameOnly都设置为true,则用户可以运行listCollections

db.runCommand(
{
listCollections: 1.0,
authorizedCollections: true,
nameOnly: true
}
)

The operation returns the name and type of the currentQuarter collection.该操作返回currentQuarter集合的名称和类型。

However, the following operations return an error if the user does not have the required access authorization:但是,如果用户没有所需的访问权限,则以下操作将返回错误:

db.runCommand(
{
listCollections: 1.0,
authorizedCollections: true
}
)

db.runCommand(
{
listCollections: 1.0,
nameOnly: true
}
)

show collections

The mongosh method show collections is similar to:mongosh方法show collections类似于:

db.runCommand(
{
listCollections: 1.0,
authorizedCollections: true,
nameOnly: true
}
)
  • For users with the required access, show collections lists the non-system collections for the database.对于具有所需访问权限的用户,show collections会列出数据库的非系统集合。
  • For users without the required access, show collections lists only the collections for which the users has privileges.对于没有所需访问权限的用户,show collections仅列出用户具有权限的集合。

Output输出

listCollections.cursor

A document that contains information with which to create a cursor to documents that contain collection names and options. 包含信息的文档,用于创建指向包含集合名称和选项的文档的游标。The cursor information includes the cursor id, the full namespace for the command, as well as the first batch of results. Each document in the batch output contains the following fields:游标信息包括游标id、命令的完整名称空间以及第一批结果。批处理输出中的每个文档都包含以下字段:

Field字段Type类型Description描述
nameStringName of the collection.集合的名称。
typeStringType of data store. 数据存储的类型。Returns collection for collections, view for views, and timeseries for time series collection.返回集合collection视图view时间序列集合timeseries
optionsDocumentCollection options.集合选项。
These options correspond directly to the options available in db.createCollection(). 这些选项直接对应于db.createCollection()中可用的选项。For the descriptions on the options, see db.createCollection(). 有关选项的描述,请参阅db.createCollection()
infoDocumentLists the following fields related to the collection: 列出与集合相关的以下字段:
readOnly
boolean. If true the data store is read only.如果为true,则数据存储为只读。
uuid
UUID. Once established, the collection UUID does not change. 一旦建立,集合UUID就不会更改。The collection UUID remains the same across replica set members and shards in a sharded cluster.在分片集群中,副本集成员和分片之间的集合UUID保持不变。
idIndexDocumentProvides information on the _id index for the collection.提供有关集合的_id索引的信息。
listCollections.ok

The return value for the command. A value of 1 indicates success.命令的返回值。值为1表示成功。

Example实例

List All Collections列出所有集合

The music database contains three collections, motorhead, taylorSwift, and ramones.music数据库包含三个集合,motoheadtaylorSwiftramones

To list the collections in the database, you can use the built-in mongosh command, show collections.要列出数据库中的集合,可以使用内置的mongosh命令show collections

show collections

The output is:输出为:

motorhead
ramones
taylorSwift

To get a similar list with the listCollections collections command, use the nameOnly option.要使用listCollections集合命令获取类似的列表,请使用nameOnly选项。

db.runCommand(
{
listCollections: 1.0,
nameOnly: true
}
)

The output is:输出为:

{
cursor: {
id: Long("0"),
ns: 'music.$cmd.listCollections',
firstBatch: [
{ name: 'motorhead', type: 'collection' },
{ name: 'taylorSwift', type: 'collection' },
{ name: 'ramones', type: 'collection' }
]
},
ok: 1
}

To get more detailed information, remove the nameOnly option.若要获取更多详细信息,请删除nameOnly选项。

db.runCommand(
{
listCollections: 1.0
}
)

The output is:输出为:

{
cursor: {
id: Long("0"),
ns: 'music.$cmd.listCollections',
firstBatch: [
{
name: 'motorhead',
type: 'collection',
