I am using MongoDb in c# . I insert a Student Like below
_client = new MongoClient(new MongoClientSettings
{
Server = new MongoServerAddress("172.1.9.8", 27017)
});
_database = _client.GetDatabase("MongoSample");
Student st = new Student()
{
Name = "Ali",
Family = "Valid",
Age = 25,
expireAt = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(30)
};
var collection = _database.GetCollection<Student>("Students");
collection.InsertOne(st);
I want to set a TTL
to Remove data after some seconds , I try to do that like this :
var collection = _database.GetCollection<Student>("Students");
var indexs = collection.Indexes.CreateOne(Builders<Student>.IndexKeys.Ascending("Name"),
new CreateIndexOptions { ExpireAfter = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10) });
collection.InsertOne(st);
but it does not work. my model is :
public class Student
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Family { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
[BsonElement("expireAt")]
public DateTime expireAt { get; set; }
}
Note : and I have problem with DateTime
, stored data in db is different with Set Date in Visual Studio
After reading Mongodb documents again , there was a mistake in my code to add Index
. there some restriction to work TTL
.
If the indexed field in a document is not a date or an array that holds a date value(s), the document will not expire.
I'v tried to set Index on Name
and it does not contain Date
.
below code works fine .
var indexKeysDefinition = Builders<Student>.IndexKeys.Ascending("expireAt");
var indexOptions = new CreateIndexOptions { ExpireAfter = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 60) };
var indexModel = new CreateIndexModel<Student>(indexKeysDefinition, indexOptions);
collection.Indexes.CreateOne(indexModel);
thank for @NeilLunn .
