4.1 Basic CRUD Operations on Collections

Working with collections of documents is straightforward when using X DevAPI. The following example shows the basic usage of CRUD operations (see Section 4.3, “Collection CRUD Function Overview” for more details) when working with documents: After establishing a connection to a MySQL Server instance, a new collection that can hold JSON documents is created and several documents are inserted. Then, a find operation is executed to search for a specific document from the collection. Finally, the collection is dropped again from the database. The example assumes that the test schema exists and that the collection my_collection does not exist.
