Xapian::Database::Database | ( | ) |
Create a Database with no databases in.
Xapian::Database::Database | ( | const std::string & | path | ) | [explicit] |
Open a Database, automatically determining the database backend to use.
path | directory that the database is stored in. |
virtual Xapian::Database::~Database | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Destroy this handle on the database.
If there are no copies of this object remaining, the database(s) will be closed.
Xapian::Database::Database | ( | const Database & | other | ) |
Copying is allowed.
The internals are reference counted, so copying is cheap.
void Xapian::Database::add_database | ( | const Database & | database | ) |
Add an existing database (or group of databases) to those accessed by this object.
database | the database(s) to add. |
void Xapian::Database::operator= | ( | const Database & | other | ) |
Assignment is allowed.
The internals are reference counted, so assignment is cheap.
void Xapian::Database::reopen | ( | ) |
Re-open the database.
This re-opens the database(s) to the latest available version(s). It can be used either to make sure the latest results are returned, or to recover from a Xapian::DatabaseModifiedError.
virtual std::string Xapian::Database::get_description | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
PostingIterator Xapian::Database::postlist_begin | ( | const std::string & | tname | ) | const |
An iterator pointing to the start of the postlist for a given term.
If the term name is the empty string, the iterator returned will list all the documents in the database. Such an iterator will always return a WDF value of 1, since there is no obvious meaning for this quantity in this case.
PostingIterator Xapian::Database::postlist_end | ( | const std::string & | ) | const [inline] |
Corresponding end iterator to postlist_begin().
TermIterator Xapian::Database::termlist_begin | ( | Xapian::docid | did | ) | const |
An iterator pointing to the start of the termlist for a given document.
TermIterator Xapian::Database::termlist_end | ( | Xapian::docid | ) | const [inline] |
Corresponding end iterator to termlist_begin().
bool Xapian::Database::has_positions | ( | ) | const |
Does this database have any positional information?
PositionIterator Xapian::Database::positionlist_begin | ( | Xapian::docid | did, | |
const std::string & | tname | |||
) | const |
An iterator pointing to the start of the position list for a given term in a given document.
PositionIterator Xapian::Database::positionlist_end | ( | Xapian::docid | , | |
const std::string & | ||||
) | const [inline] |
Corresponding end iterator to positionlist_begin().
TermIterator Xapian::Database::allterms_begin | ( | ) | const |
An iterator which runs across all terms in the database.
TermIterator Xapian::Database::allterms_end | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Corresponding end iterator to allterms_begin().
TermIterator Xapian::Database::allterms_begin | ( | const std::string & | prefix | ) | const |
An iterator which runs across all terms with a given prefix.
This is functionally similar to getting an iterator with allterms_begin() and then calling skip_to(prefix) on that iterator to move to the start of the prefix, but is more convenient (because it detects the end of the prefixed terms), and may be more efficient than simply calling skip_to() after opening the iterator, particularly for network databases.
prefix | The prefix to restrict the returned terms to. |
TermIterator Xapian::Database::allterms_end | ( | const std::string & | ) | const [inline] |
Corresponding end iterator to allterms_begin(prefix).

Get the number of documents in the database.
Xapian::docid Xapian::Database::get_lastdocid | ( | ) | const |
Get the highest document id which has been used in the database.
Xapian::doclength Xapian::Database::get_avlength | ( | ) | const |
Get the average length of the documents in the database.
Xapian::doccount Xapian::Database::get_termfreq | ( | const std::string & | tname | ) | const |
Get the number of documents in the database indexed by a given term.
bool Xapian::Database::term_exists | ( | const std::string & | tname | ) | const |
Check if a given term exists in the database.
Return true if and only if the term exists in the database. This is the same as (get_termfreq(tname) != 0), but will often be more efficient.
Xapian::termcount Xapian::Database::get_collection_freq | ( | const std::string & | tname | ) | const |
Return the total number of occurrences of the given term.
This is the sum of the number of occurrences of the term in each document it indexes: i.e., the sum of the within document frequencies of the term.
tname | The term whose collection frequency is being requested. |
Xapian::doclength Xapian::Database::get_doclength | ( | Xapian::docid | did | ) | const |
Get the length of a document.
void Xapian::Database::keep_alive | ( | ) |
Send a "keep-alive" to remote databases to stop them timing out.
Xapian::Document Xapian::Database::get_document | ( | Xapian::docid | did | ) | const |
Get a document from the database, given its document id.
This method returns a Xapian::Document object which provides the information about a document.
did | The document id for which to retrieve the data. |
Xapian::DocNotFoundError | The document specified could not be found in the database. |
std::string Xapian::Database::get_spelling_suggestion | ( | const std::string & | word, | |
unsigned | max_edit_distance = 2 | |||
) | const |

word | The potentially misspelled word. | |
max_edit_distance | Only consider words which are at most max_edit_distance edits from word. An edit is a character insertion, deletion, or the transposition of two adjacent characters (default is 2). |
Xapian::TermIterator Xapian::Database::spellings_begin | ( | ) | const |
An iterator which returns all the spelling correction targets.
This returns all the words which are considered as targets for the spelling correction algorithm. The frequency of each word is available as the term frequency of each entry in the returned iterator.
Xapian::TermIterator Xapian::Database::spellings_end | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Corresponding end iterator to spellings_begin().
Xapian::TermIterator Xapian::Database::synonyms_begin | ( | const std::string & | term | ) | const |
An iterator which returns all the synonyms for a given term.
term | The term to return synonyms for. |
Xapian::TermIterator Xapian::Database::synonyms_end | ( | const std::string & | ) | const [inline] |
Corresponding end iterator to synonyms_begin(term).
Xapian::TermIterator Xapian::Database::synonym_keys_begin | ( | const std::string & | prefix = "" |
) | const |
An iterator which returns all terms which have synonyms.
prefix | If non-empty, only terms with this prefix are returned. |
Xapian::TermIterator Xapian::Database::synonym_keys_end | ( | const std::string & | = "" |
) | const [inline] |
Corresponding end iterator to synonym_keys_begin(prefix).
std::string Xapian::Database::get_metadata | ( | const std::string & | key | ) | const |
Get the user-specified metadata associated with a given key.
User-specified metadata allows you to store arbitrary information in the form of (key,tag) pairs. See WritableDatabase::set_metadata() for more information.
When invoked on a Xapian::Database object representing multiple databases, currently only the metadata for the first is considered but this behaviour may change in the future.
If there is no piece of metadata associated with the specified key, an empty string is returned (this applies even for backends which don't support metadata).
Empty keys are not valid, and specifying one will cause an exception.
key | The key of the metadata item to access. |
Xapian::InvalidArgumentError | will be thrown if the key supplied is empty. | |
Xapian::UnimplementedError | will be thrown if the database backend in use doesn't support user-specified metadata. |
Xapian::TermIterator Xapian::Database::metadata_keys_begin | ( | const std::string & | prefix = "" |
) | const |
An iterator which returns all user-specified metadata keys.
When invoked on a Xapian::Database object representing multiple databases, currently only the metadata for the first is considered but this behaviour may change in the future.
prefix | If non-empty, only keys with this prefix are returned. |
Xapian::TermIterator Xapian::Database::metadata_keys_end | ( | const std::string & | = "" |
) | const [inline] |
Corresponding end iterator to metadata_keys_begin().
