config
ReQL command: config
Command syntax
table.config() → selection<object> database.config() → selection<object>
Description
Query (read and/or update) the configurations for individual tables or databases.
The config
command is a shorthand way to access the table_config
or db_config
System tables. It will return the single row from the system that corresponds to the database or table configuration, as if get had been called on the system table with the UUID of the database or table in question.
Example: Get the configuration for the users
table.
r.table('users').config().run(conn)
Example return:
{ "id": "31c92680-f70c-4a4b-a49e-b238eb12c023", "name": "users", "db": "superstuff", "primary_key": "id", "shards": [ { "primary_replica": "a", "replicas": ["a", "b"], "nonvoting_replicas": [] }, { "primary_replica": "d", "replicas": ["c", "d"], "nonvoting_replicas": [] } ], "indexes": [], "write_acks": "majority", "durability": "hard" }
Example: Change the write acknowledgement requirement of the users
table.
r.table('users').config().update({'write_acks': 'single'}).run(conn)
