      Manage collections and scopes in a bucket

      SYNOPSIS

      couchbase-cli collection-manage [--cluster <url>] [--username <user>]
    [--password <password>] [--bucket <bucket>] [--create-scope <scope>]
    [--drop-scope <scope>] [--list-scopes] [--create-collection <collection>]
    [--drop-collection <collection>] [--list-collections [<scope_list>]]
    [--max-ttl <seconds>]

      DESCRIPTION

      This command is used to manage collections and scopes in a bucket. Collections allow the user to categorize the data in the bucket by creating collections and specifying a collection when adding documents to a bucket. Scopes are the grouping of collections, which allows further categorization and ease of management.

      The following rules define a valid collection or scope name:

      • Must be between 1 and 30 bytes long

      • Can only contain characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and the following symbols _ - %

      • Cannot start with _ or %

      Only Couchbase and Ephemeral bucket has Collection support.

      OPTIONS

      -c
      --cluster

      Specifies the hostname of a node in the cluster. See the HOST FORMATS section for more information on specifying a hostname.

      -u
      --username <username>

      Specifies the username of the user executing the command. If you do not have a user account with permission to execute the command then it will fail with an unauthorized error.

      -p
      --password <password>

      Specifies the password of the user executing the command. If you do not have a user account with permission to execute the command then it will fail with an unauthorized error. If this argument is specified, but no password is given then the command will prompt the user for a password through non-echoed stdin. You may also specify your password by using the environment variable CB_REST_PASSWORD.

      --bucket <bucket>

      The name of the bucket.

      --create-scope <scope>

      Makes a scope in the bucket with the name provided.

      --drop-scope <scope>

      Removes the scope from the bucket with the name provided.

      --list-scopes

      Shows all scopes in the bucket.

      --create-collection <collection>

      Makes the collection in the scope. The option takes a path in dot format (scope.collection), specifying the scope in which the collection and the name to be created.

      --drop-collection <collection>

      Removes the collection from the scope. The option takes a path in dot format (scope.collection), specifying the scope from which the collection and collection-name are to be removed.

      --list-collections [<scope_list>]

      Takes an optional comma separated list of scope names. It will show all the collections inside those scopes. If no scopes are provided it will show all the collections.

      --max-ttl <seconds>

      Specifies the maximum TTL (time-to-live) for all documents in the collection, in seconds. If enabled and a document is mutated with no TTL or a TTL greater than than the maximum, its TTL will be set to the maximum TTL. Setting this option to 0 disables the use of max-TTL, and the largest TTL that is allowed is 2147483647.

      HOST FORMATS

      When specifying a host for the couchbase-cli command the following formats are expected:

      • couchbase://<addr>

      • <addr>:<port>

      • http://<addr>:<port>

      It is recommended to use the couchbase://<addr> format for standard installations. The other two formats allow an option to take a port number which is needed for non-default installations where the admin port has been set up on a port other that 8091.

      EXAMPLES

      To create a new scope called "chairs" in the furniture bucket.

      $ couchbase-cli collection-manage -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \
 -p password --bucket furniture --create-scope chairs

      To create a new collection called "couches" in the chairs scope in the furniture bucket.

      $ couchbase-cli collection-manage -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \
 -p password --bucket furniture --create-collection chairs.couches

      To list all of the collections in the chairs and tables scopes in the furniture bucket.

      $ couchbase-cli collection-manage -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \
 -p password --bucket furniture --list-collections chairs,tables

      To drop the couches collection from the chairs scope in the furniture bucket.

      $ couchbase-cli collection-manage -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \
 -p password --bucket furniture --drop-collection chairs.couches

      To drop the chair scope from the furniture bucket

      $ couchbase-cli collection-manage -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \
 -p password --bucket furniture --drop-scope chairs

      ENVIRONMENT AND CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
