Client API: Setting up a Default Database
-
A default database can be set in the Document Store.
The default database is used when accessing the Document Store methods without explicitly specifying a database. -
You can pass a different database when accessing the Document Store methods.
This database will override the default database for that method action only.
The default database value itself will Not change. -
When accessing the Document Store methods, an exception will be thrown if a default database is Not set and if No other database was explicitly passed.
-
In this page:
Example - Without a Default Database
using (IDocumentStore store = new DocumentStore
{
Urls = new[] { "http://your_RavenDB_server_URL" }
// Default database is not set
}.Initialize())
{
// Specify the 'Northwind' database when opening a Session
using (IDocumentSession session = store.OpenSession(database: "NorthWind"))
{
// Session will operate on the 'Northwind' database
}
// Specify the 'Northwind' database when sending an Operation
store.Maintenance.ForDatabase("Northwind").Send(new DeleteIndexOperation("NorthWindIndex"));
}
Example - With a Default Database
The default database is defined in the Document Store's Database property.
using (IDocumentStore store = new DocumentStore
{
Urls = new[] { "http://your_RavenDB_server_URL" },
// Default database is set to 'Northwind'
Database = "Northwind"
}.Initialize())
{
// Using the default database
using (IDocumentSession northwindSession = store.OpenSession())
{
// Session will operate on the default 'Northwind' database
}
// Operation for default database
store.Maintenance.Send(new DeleteIndexOperation("NorthWindIndex"));
// Specify the 'AdventureWorks' database when opening a Session
using (IDocumentSession adventureWorksSession = store.OpenSession(database: "AdventureWorks"))
{
// Session will operate on the specifed 'AdventureWorks' database
}
// Specify the 'AdventureWorks' database when sending an Operation
store.Maintenance.ForDatabase("AdventureWorks").Send(new DeleteIndexOperation("AdventureWorksIndex"));
}
