r → r
The top-level ReQL namespace.
Example: Set up your top-level namespace.
require_once('rdb/rdb.php');
r\connect(host, port=28015[, db[, authKey[, timeout]]]) → connection
Create a new connection to the database server.
Example: Open a connection using the default host and port, specifying the default database.
$conn = r\connect('localhost', 28015, "myDb")
conn->close(noreplyWait=true)
Close an open connection.
Example: Close an open connection, waiting for noreply writes to finish.
$conn->close()
conn->reconnect(noreplyWait=true)
Close and reopen a connection.
Example: Cancel outstanding requests/queries that are no longer needed.
$conn->reconnect(false)
conn->useDb(dbName)
Change the default database on this connection.
Example: Change the default database so that we don't need to specify the database when referencing a table.
$conn->useDb('marvel')
r\table('heroes')->run($conn) // refers to r\db('marvel').table('heroes')
query->run(conn[, options]) → cursor
query->run(conn[, options]) → datum
Run a query on a connection.
Returns either a single result or a cursor, depending on the query.
Example: Run a query on the connection conn and log each row in
the result to the console.
$cursor = r\table('marvel')->run($conn)
foreach ($cursor as $x) { print_r($x); }
conn->noreplyWait()
noreplyWait ensures that previous queries with the noreply flag have been processed
by the server. Note that this guarantee only applies to queries run on the given connection.
Example: We have previously run queries with the noreply argument set to true. Now
wait until the server has processed them.
$conn->noreplyWait()
conn->server()
conn->server() → promise
Return the server name and server UUID being used by a connection.
Example: Return the server name and UUID.
$conn->server();
// Result
array( "id" => "404bef53-4b2c-433f-9184-bc3f7bda4a15", "name" => "amadeus" )
cursor->toArray() → array
Retrieve all results and return them as an array.
Example: For small result sets it may be more convenient to process them at once as an array.
$fullResult = $cursor->toArray()
cursor->close()
Close a cursor. Closing a cursor cancels the corresponding query and frees the memory associated with the open request.
Example: Close a cursor.
$cursor->close()
cursor->addListener(event, listener)
cursor->on(event, listener)
cursor->once(event, listener)
cursor->removeListener(event, listener)
cursor->removeAllListeners([event])
cursor->setMaxListeners(n)
cursor->listeners(event)
cursor->emit(event, [arg1], [arg2], [...])
Cursors and feeds implement the same interface as Node's EventEmitter.
r\dbCreate(dbName) → object
Create a database. A RethinkDB database is a collection of tables, similar to relational databases.
If successful, the operation returns an object: {created: 1}. If a database with the
same name already exists the operation throws ReqlRuntimeError.
Note: that you can only use alphanumeric characters and underscores for the database name.
Example: Create a database named 'superheroes'.
r\dbCreate('superheroes')->run($conn)
r\dbDrop(dbName) → object
Drop a database. The database, all its tables, and corresponding data will be deleted.
If successful, the operation returns the object {dropped: 1}. If the specified database
doesn't exist a ReqlRuntimeError is thrown.
Example: Drop a database named 'superheroes'.
r\dbDrop('superheroes')->run($conn)
r\dbList() → array
List all database names in the system. The result is a list of strings.
Example: List all databases.
r\dbList()->run($conn)

table->indexCreateGeo(indexName[, indexFunction]) → object
table->indexCreateMultiGeo(indexName[, indexFunction]) → object
Create a new secondary index on a table.
The index can be either a regular index, a multi index, a geo index, or a multi geo index.
Example: Create a simple index based on the field postId.
r\table('comments')->indexCreate('postId')->run($conn)
table->indexDrop(indexName) → object
Delete a previously created secondary index of this table.
Example: Drop a secondary index named 'code_name'.
r\table('dc')->indexDrop('code_name')->run($conn)
table->indexList() → array
List all the secondary indexes of this table.
Example: List the available secondary indexes for this table.
r\table('marvel')->indexList()->run($conn)
table->indexRename(oldIndexName, newIndexName[, array('overwrite' => false)]) → object
Rename an existing secondary index on a table. If the optional argument overwrite is specified as true, a previously existing index with the new name will be deleted and the index will be renamed. If overwrite is false (the default) an error will be raised if the new index name already exists.
Example: Rename an index on the comments table.
r\table('comments')->indexRename('postId', 'messageId')->run($conn)
table->indexStatus() → array
table->indexStatus(index) → array
table->indexStatus(array(index, ...)) → array
Get the status of the specified indexes on this table, or the status of all indexes on this table if no indexes are specified.
Example: Get the status of all the indexes on test:
r\table('test')->indexStatus()->run($conn)
Example: Get the status of the timestamp index:
r\table('test')->indexStatus('timestamp')->run($conn)
table->indexWait() → array
table->indexWait(index) → array
table->indexWait(array(index, ...)) → array
Wait for the specified indexes on this table to be ready, or for all indexes on this table to be ready if no indexes are specified.
Example: Wait for all indexes on the table test to be ready:
r\table('test')->indexWait()->run($conn)
Example: Wait for the index timestamp to be ready:
r\table('test')->indexWait('timestamp')->run($conn)
stream->changes([options]) → stream
singleSelection->changes([options]) → stream
Return a changefeed, an infinite stream of objects representing changes to a query. A changefeed may return changes to a table or an individual document (a "point" changefeed), and document transformation commands such as filter or map may be used before the changes command to affect the output.
Example: Subscribe to the changes on a table.
$feed = r\table('games')->changes()->run($conn);
foreach ($feed as $change) {
print_r($change);
}
table->insert(object | array(object, ...)[, array('durability' => "hard", 'return_changes' => false, 'conflict' => "error")]) → object
Insert JSON documents into a table. Accepts a single JSON document or an array of documents.
Example: Insert a document into the table posts.
r\table("posts")->insert(array(
'id' => 1,
'title' => "Lorem ipsum",
'content' => "Dolor sit amet"
))->run($conn)
table->update(object | function
[, array('durability' => "hard", 'return_changes' => false, 'non_atomic' => false)])
→ object
selection->update(object | function
[, array('durability' => "hard", 'return_changes' => false, 'non_atomic' => false)])
→ object
singleSelection->update(object | function
[, array('durability' => "hard", 'return_changes' => false, 'non_atomic' => false)])
→ object
Update JSON documents in a table. Accepts a JSON document, a ReQL expression, or a
combination of the two. You can pass options like return_changes that will return the old
and new values of the row you have modified.
Example: Update the status of the post with id of 1 to published.
r\table("posts")->get(1)->update(array('status' => "published"))->run($conn)
table->replace(object | function
[, array('durability' => "hard", 'return_changes' => false, 'non_atomic' => false)])
→ object
selection->replace(object | function
[, array('durability' => "hard", 'return_changes' => false, 'non_atomic' => false)])
→ object
singleSelection->replace(object | function
[, array('durability' => "hard", 'return_changes' => false, 'non_atomic' => false)])
→ object
Replace documents in a table. Accepts a JSON document or a ReQL expression, and replaces the original document with the new one. The new document must have the same primary key as the original document.
Example: Replace the document with the primary key 1.
r\table("posts")->get(1)->replace(array(
'id' => 1,
'title' => "Lorem ipsum",
'content' => "Aleas jacta est",
'status' => "draft"
))->run($conn)
table->delete([array('durability' => "hard", 'return_changes' => false)])
→ object
selection->delete([array('durability' => "hard", 'return_changes' => false)])
→ object
singleSelection->delete([array('durability' => "hard", 'return_changes' => false)])
→ object
Delete one or more documents from a table.
Example: Delete a single document from the table comments.
r\table("comments")->get("7eab9e63-73f1-4f33-8ce4-95cbea626f59")->delete()->run($conn)
table->sync()
→ object
sync ensures that writes on a given table are written to permanent storage. Queries
that specify soft durability ({durability: 'soft'}) do not give such guarantees, so
sync can be used to ensure the state of these queries. A call to sync does not return
until all previous writes to the table are persisted.
Example: After having updated multiple heroes with soft durability, we now want to wait until these changes are persisted.
r\table('marvel')->sync()->run($conn)
r\db(dbName) → db
Reference a database.
Example: Explicitly specify a database for a query.
r\db('heroes')->table('marvel')->run($conn)
db->table(name[, array('readMode' => 'single', 'identifierFormat' => 'name')]) → table
Select all documents in a table. This command can be chained with other commands to do further processing on the data.
Example: Return all documents in the table 'marvel' of the default database.
r\table('marvel')->run($conn)
table->get(key) → singleRowSelection
Get a document by primary key.
If no document exists with that primary key, get will return null.
Example: Find a document by UUID.
r\table('posts')->get('a9849eef-7176-4411-935b-79a6e3c56a74')->run($conn)
table->getAll(key[, array('index' =>'id')]) → selection
table->getMultiple(array(key, ...)[, array('index' =>'id')]) → selection
Get all documents where the given value matches the value of the requested index.
Use getMultiple for retrieving documents under multiple keys at once.
Example: Secondary index keys are not guaranteed to be unique so we cannot query via get when using a secondary index.
r\table('marvel')->getAll('man_of_steel', array('index' =>'code_name'))->run($conn)
table->between(lowerKey, upperKey[, options]) → table_slice
table_slice->between(lowerKey, upperKey[, options]) → table_slice
Get all documents between two keys. Accepts three optional arguments: index,
left_bound, and right_bound. If index is set to the name of a secondary index,
between will return all documents where that index's value is in the specified range
(it uses the primary key by default). left_bound or right_bound may be set to open
or closed to indicate whether or not to include that endpoint of the range (by default,
left_bound is closed and right_bound is open).
Example: Find all users with primary key >= 10 and < 20 (a normal half-open interval).
r\table('marvel')->between(10, 20)->run($conn)
selection->filter(predicate_function[, array(default => false)]) → selection
stream->filter(predicate_function[, array(default => false)]) → stream
array->filter(predicate_function[, array(default => false)]) → array
Get all the documents for which the given predicate is true.
filter can be called on a sequence, selection, or a field containing an array of
elements. The return type is the same as the type on which the function was called on.
The body of every filter is wrapped in an implicit .default(false), which means that
if a non-existence errors is thrown (when you try to access a field that does not exist
in a document), RethinkDB will just ignore the document.
The default value can be changed by passing an object with a default field.
Setting this optional argument to r.error() will cause any non-existence errors to
return a ReqlRuntimeError.
Example: Get all the users that are 30 years old.
r\table('users')->filter(array('age' => 30))->run($conn)
sequence->innerJoin(otherSequence, predicate_function) → stream
array->innerJoin(otherSequence, predicate_function) → array
Returns an inner join of two sequences.
Example: Return a list of all matchups between Marvel and DC heroes in which the DC hero could beat the Marvel hero in a fight.
r\table('marvel')->innerJoin(r\table('dc'), function($marvelRow, $dcRow) {
return $marvelRow('strength')->lt($dcRow('strength'));
})->zip()->run($conn)
sequence->outerJoin(otherSequence, predicate_function) → stream
array->outerJoin(otherSequence, predicate_function) → array
Returns a left outer join of two sequences.
Example: Return a list of all Marvel heroes, paired with any DC heroes who could beat them in a fight.
r\table('marvel')->outerJoin(r\table('dc'), function($marvelRow, $dcRow) {
return $marvelRow('strength')->lt($dcRow('strength'));
})->run($conn)
sequence->eqJoin(leftField, rightTable[, array('index' =>'id')]) → sequence
sequence->eqJoin(predicate_function, rightTable[, array('index' =>'id')]) → sequence
Join tables using a field or function on the left-hand sequence matching primary keys or secondary indexes on the right-hand table. eqJoin is more efficient than other ReQL join types, and operates much faster. Documents in the result set consist of pairs of left-hand and right-hand documents, matched when the field on the left-hand side exists and is non-null and an entry with that field's value exists in the specified index on the right-hand side.
Example: Match players with the games they've played against one another.
r\table('players')->eqJoin('gameId', r\table('games'))->run($conn)
stream->zip() → stream
array->zip() → array
Used to 'zip' up the result of a join by merging the 'right' fields into 'left' fields of each member of the sequence.
Example: 'zips up' the sequence by merging the left and right fields produced by a join.
r\table('marvel')->eqJoin('main_dc_collaborator', r\table('dc'))
->zip()->run($conn)
sequence->map(mappingFunction) → stream
array->map(mappingFunction) → array
sequence1->mapMultiple(array(sequence2, ...), mappingFunction) → stream
array1->mapMultiple(array(array2, ...), mappingFunction) → array
r\mapMultiple(array(sequence1, sequence2, ...), mappingFunction) → stream
r\mapMultiple(array(array1, array2, ...), mappingFunction) → array
Transform each element of one or more sequences by applying a mapping function to them. For mapping over multiple sequences, mapMultiple must be used. mapMultiple will iterate for as many items as there are in the shortest sequence.
Example: Return the first five squares.
$result = r\expr(array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5))->map(function ($val) {
return $val->mul($val);
})->run($conn);
// Result
array(1, 4, 9, 16, 25)
sequence->withFields(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → stream
array->withFields(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → array
Plucks one or more attributes from a sequence of objects, filtering out any objects in the sequence that do not have the specified fields. Functionally, this is identical to hasFields followed by pluck on a sequence.
Example: Get a list of users and their posts, excluding any users who have not made any posts.
r\table('users')->withFields(array('id', 'username', 'posts'))->run($conn)
stream->concatMap(function) → stream
array->concatMap(function) → array
Concatenate one or more elements into a single sequence using a mapping function.
Example: Construct a sequence of all monsters defeated by Marvel heroes. The field "defeatedMonsters" is an array of one or more monster names.
r\table('marvel')->concatMap(function($hero) {
return $hero('defeatedMonsters');
})->run($conn)
table->orderBy(keyOrFunction2 | array(keyOrFunction2, ...), array('index' => index_name)) → table_slice
selection->orderBy(keyOrFunction | array(keyOrFunction1, ,,,)) → selection<array>
sequence->orderBy(keyOrFunction | array(keyOrFunction1, ...)) → array
Sort the sequence by document values of the given key(s). To specify
the ordering, wrap the attribute with either r\asc or r\desc
(defaults to ascending).
Sorting without an index requires the server to hold the sequence in
memory, and is limited to 100,000 documents (or the setting of the array_limit option for run). Sorting with an index can
be done on arbitrarily large tables, or after a between command
using the same index.
Example: Order all the posts using the index date.
r\table('posts')->orderBy(array('index' => 'date'))->run($conn)
The index must have been previously created with indexCreate.
r\table('posts')->indexCreate('date')->run($conn)
You can also select a descending ordering:
r\table('posts')->orderBy(array('index' => r\desc('date')))->run($conn)
sequence->skip(n) → stream
array->skip(n) → array
Skip a number of elements from the head of the sequence.
Example: Here in conjunction with orderBy we choose to ignore the most successful heroes.
r\table('marvel')->orderBy('successMetric')->skip(10)->run($conn)
sequence->limit(n) → stream
array->limit(n) → array
End the sequence after the given number of elements.
Example: Only so many can fit in our Pantheon of heroes.
r\table('marvel')->orderBy('belovedness')->limit(10)->run($conn)
selection->slice(startIndex[, endIndex, array('left_bound' =>'closed', 'right_bound' =>'open')]) → selection
stream->slice(startIndex[, endIndex, array('left_bound' =>'closed', 'right_bound' =>'open')]) → stream
array->slice(startIndex[, endIndex, array('left_bound' =>'closed', 'right_bound' =>'open')]) → array
binary->slice(startIndex[, endIndex, array('left_bound' =>'closed', 'right_bound' =>'open')]) → binary
Return the elements of a sequence within the specified range.
Example: Return the fourth, fifth and sixth youngest players. (The youngest player is at index 0, so those are elements 3–5.)
r\table('players')->orderBy(array('index' => 'age'))->slice(3,6)->run($conn)
sequence->nth(index) → object
selection->nth(index) → selection<object>
Get the nth element of a sequence, counting from zero. If the argument is negative, count from the last element.
Example: Select the second element in the array.
r\expr(array(1,2,3))->nth(1)->run($conn)
sequence->offsetsOf(datum | predicate_function) → array
Get the indexes of an element in a sequence. If the argument is a predicate, get the indexes of all elements matching it.
Example: Find the position of the letter 'c'.
r\expr(array('a','b','c'))->offsetsOf('c')->run($conn)
sequence->isEmpty() → bool
Test if a sequence is empty.
Example: Are there any documents in the marvel table?
r\table('marvel')->isEmpty()->run($conn)
stream->union(sequence) → stream
array->union(sequence) → array
Merge two sequences. (Note that ordering is not guaranteed by union.)
Example: Construct a stream of all heroes.
r\table('marvel')->union(r\table('dc'))->run($conn);
sequence->sample(number) → selection
stream->sample(number) → array
array->sample(number) → array
Select a given number of elements from a sequence with uniform random distribution. Selection is done without replacement.
Example: Select 3 random heroes.
r\table('marvel')->sample(3)->run($conn)
sequence->group(fieldOrFunction[, array('index' => "indexName", 'multi' => false)]) → grouped_stream
Takes a stream and partitions it into multiple groups based on the
fields or functions provided. Commands chained after group will be
called on each of these grouped sub-streams, producing grouped data.
Example: What is each player's best game?
r\table('games')->group('player')->max('points')->run($conn)
grouped_stream->ungroup() → array
grouped_data->ungroup() → array
Takes a grouped stream or grouped data and turns it into an array of
objects representing the groups. Any commands chained after ungroup
will operate on this array, rather than operating on each group
individually. This is useful if you want to e.g. order the groups by
the value of their reduction.
Example: What is the maximum number of points scored by each player, with the highest scorers first?
r\table('games')
->group('player')->max('points')->getField('points')
->ungroup()->orderBy(r\desc('reduction'))->run($conn)
sequence->reduce(function) → value
Produce a single value from a sequence through repeated application of a reduction function.
Example: Return the number of documents in the table `posts.
r\table("posts")->map(function($doc) {
return 1;
})->reduce(function($left, $right) {
return $left->add($right);
})->run($conn);
sequence->count([value | predicate_function]) → number
binary->count() → number
Count the number of elements in the sequence. With a single argument, count the number of elements equal to it. If the argument is a function, it is equivalent to calling filter before count.
Example: Just how many super heroes are there?
r\table('marvel')->count()->add(r\table('dc')->count())->run($conn)
sequence->sum([field | function]) → number
Sums all the elements of a sequence. If called with a field name,
sums all the values of that field in the sequence, skipping elements
of the sequence that lack that field. If called with a function,
calls that function on every element of the sequence and sums the
results, skipping elements of the sequence where that function returns
null or a non-existence error.
Example: What's 3 + 5 + 7?
r\expr(array(3, 5, 7))->sum()->run($conn)
sequence->avg([field | function]) → number
Averages all the elements of a sequence. If called with a field name,
averages all the values of that field in the sequence, skipping
elements of the sequence that lack that field. If called with a
function, calls that function on every element of the sequence and
averages the results, skipping elements of the sequence where that
function returns null or a non-existence error.
Example: What's the average of 3, 5, and 7?
r\expr(array(3, 5, 7))->avg()->run($conn)
sequence->min(field | function) → element
sequence->min(array('index' => <indexname>)) → element
Finds the minimum element of a sequence.
Example: Return the minimum value in the list [3, 5, 7].
r\expr(array(3, 5, 7))->min()->run($conn);
sequence->max(field | function) → element
sequence->max(array('index' => <indexname>)) → element
Finds the maximum element of a sequence.
Example: Return the maximum value in the list [3, 5, 7].
r\expr(array(3, 5, 7))->max()->run($conn);
sequence->distinct() → array
table->distinct([array('index' => <indexname>)]) → stream
Remove duplicate elements from the sequence.
Example: Which unique villains have been vanquished by marvel heroes?
r\table('marvel')->concatMap(function($hero) {
return $hero('villainList');
})->distinct()->run($conn)
sequence->contains(value | function) → bool
Returns whether or not a sequence contains the specified value, or if functions are provided instead, returns whether or not a sequence contains values matching the specified function.
Example: Has Iron Man ever fought Superman?
r\table('marvel')->get('ironman')->getField('opponents')->contains('superman')->run($conn)
r\row([field]) → value
Returns the currently visited document.
Example: Get all users whose age is greater than 5.
r\table('users')->filter(r\row('age')->gt(5))->run($conn)
sequence->pluck(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → stream
array->pluck(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → array
object->pluck(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → object
singleSelection->pluck(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → object
Plucks out one or more attributes from either an object or a sequence of objects (projection).
Example: We just need information about IronMan's reactor and not the rest of the document.
r\table('marvel')->get('IronMan')->pluck(array('reactorState', 'reactorPower'))->run($conn)
sequence->without(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → stream
array->without(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → array
singleSelection->without(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → object
object->without(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → object
The opposite of pluck; takes an object or a sequence of objects, and returns them with the specified paths removed.
Example: Since we don't need it for this computation we'll save bandwidth and leave out the list of IronMan's romantic conquests.
r\table('marvel')->get('IronMan')->without('personalVictoriesList')->run($conn)
singleSelection->merge([object | function, object | function, ...]) → object
object->merge([object | function, object | function, ...]) → object
sequence->merge([object | function, object | function, ...]) → stream
array->merge([object | function, object | function, ...]) → array
Merge two or more objects together to construct a new object with properties from all. When there is a conflict between field names, preference is given to fields in the rightmost object in the argument list.
Example: Equip Thor for battle.
r\table('marvel')->get('thor')->merge(
r\table('equipment')->get('hammer'),
r\table('equipment')->get('pimento_sandwich')
)->run($conn)

sequence->hasFields(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → stream
array->hasFields(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → array
object->hasFields(selector | array(selector1, selector2...)) → boolean
Test if an object has one or more fields. An object has a field if it has that key and the key has a non-null value. For instance, the object {'a': 1,'b': 2,'c': null} has the fields a and b.
Example: Return the players who have won games.
r\table('players')->hasFields('games_won')->run($conn)

r\object(array(key, value,...)) → object
Creates an object from a list of key-value pairs, where the keys must
be strings. r.object(array(A, B, C, D)) is equivalent to

Example: Get all users whose name starts with "A".
r\table('users')->filter(function($doc){
return $doc('name')->match("^A");
})->run($conn)
string->split([separator, [max_splits]]) → array
Splits a string into substrings. Splits on whitespace when called
with no arguments. When called with a separator, splits on that
separator. When called with a separator and a maximum number of
splits, splits on that separator at most max_splits times. (Can be
called with null as the separator if you want to split on whitespace
while still specifying max_splits.)
Mimics the behavior of Python's string.split in edge cases, except
for splitting on the empty string, which instead produces an array of
single-character strings.
Example: Split on whitespace.
r\expr("foo bar bax")->split()->run($conn)
string->upcase() → string

})->run($conn)
value->default(default_value | function) → any
sequence->default(default_value | function) → any
Provide a default value in case of non-existence errors. The default command evaluates its first argument (the value it's chained to). If that argument returns null or a non-existence error is thrown in evaluation, then default returns its second argument. The second argument is usually a default value, but it can be a function that returns a value.
Example: Retrieve the titles and authors of the table posts.
In the case where the author field is missing or null, we want to retrieve the string

r\table('geo')->insert(array(
'id' => 101,
'rectangle' => r\polygon(array(
array(-122.423246,37.779388),
array(-122.423246,37.329898),
array(-121.886420,37.329898),
array(-121.886420,37.779388)
))
))->run($conn);
polygon1->polygonSub(polygon2) → polygon
Use polygon2 to "punch out" a hole in polygon1. polygon2 must be completely contained within polygon1 and must have no holes itself (it must not be the output of polygonSub itself).
Example: Define a polygon with a hole punched in it.
var $outerPolygon = r\polygon(array(
array(-122.4,37.7),
array(-122.4,37.3),
array(-121.8,37.3),
array(-121.8,37.7)
));
var $innerPolygon = r\polygon(array(
array(-122.3,37.4),
array(-122.3,37.6),
array(-122.0,37.6),
array(-122.0,37.4)
));
$outerPolygon->polygonSub($innerpolygon)->run($conn);
table->config() → selection<object>
database->config() → selection<object>
Query (read and/or update) the configurations for individual tables or databases.
Example: Get the configuration for the users table.
> r\table('users')->config()->run($conn);
table->rebalance() → object
database->rebalance() → object
Rebalances the shards of a table. When called on a database, all the tables in that database will be rebalanced.
Example: Rebalance a table.
> r\table('superheroes')->rebalance()->run($conn);
table->reconfigure(array('shards' => <s>, 'replicas' => <r>[, 'primary_replica_tag' => <t>, 'dry_run' => false)]) → object
database->reconfigure(array('shards' => <s>, 'replicas' => <r>[, 'primary_replica_tag' => <t>, 'dry_run' => false)]) → object
Reconfigure a table's sharding and replication.
Example: Reconfigure a table.
> r\table('superheroes')->reconfigure(array('shards' => 2, 'replicas' => 1))->run($conn);
table->status() → selection<object>
Return the status of a table.
Example: Get a table's status.
> r\table('superheroes')->status()->run($conn);
table->wait([array('wait_for' => 'ready_for_writes', 'timeout' => <sec>)]) → object
database->wait([array('wait_for' => 'ready_for_writes', 'timeout' => <sec>)]) → object
r\wait([array('wait_for' => 'ready_for_writes', 'timeout' => <sec>)]) → object
Wait for a table or all the tables in a database to be ready. A table may be temporarily unavailable after creation, rebalancing or reconfiguring. The wait command blocks until the given table (or database) is fully up to date.
Example: Wait for a table to be ready.
> r\table('superheroes')->wait()->run($conn);
