# Queries
This function implements the
[HTTP API for single roundtrip AQL queries](../../../..//HTTP/AqlQueryCursor/QueryResults.html).
## ArangoDatabase.query
`ArangoDatabase.query(String query, Map<String, Object> bindVars, AqlQueryOptions options, Class<T> type) : ArangoCursor<T>`
Performs a database query using the given _query_ and _bindVars_, then returns
a new _ArangoCursor_ instance for the result list.
**Arguments**
- **query**: `String`
An AQL query string
- **bindVars**: `Map<String, Object>`
key/value pairs defining the variables to bind the query to
- **options**: `AqlQueryOptions`
- **count**: `Boolean`
Indicates whether the number of documents in the result set should be
returned in the "count" attribute of the result. Calculating the "count"
attribute might have a performance impact for some queries in the future
so this option is turned off by default, and "count" is only returned
when requested.
- **ttl**: `Integer`
The time-to-live for the cursor (in seconds). The cursor will be removed
on the server automatically after the specified amount of time.
This is useful to ensure garbage collection of cursors that are not fully
fetched by clients. If not set, a server-defined value will be used.
- **batchSize**: `Integer`
Maximum number of result documents to be transferred from the server to
the client in one roundtrip. If this attribute is not set, a server-controlled
default value will be used. A batchSize value of 0 is disallowed.
- **memoryLimit**: `Long`
The maximum number of memory (measured in bytes) that the query is allowed
to use. If set, then the query will fail with error "resource limit exceeded"
in case it allocates too much memory. A value of 0 indicates that there is
no memory limit.
- **cache**: `Boolean`
Flag to determine whether the AQL query cache shall be used.
If set to false, then any query cache lookup will be skipped for the query.
If set to true, it will lead to the query cache being checked for the query
if the query cache mode is either on or demand.
- **failOnWarning**: `Boolean`
When set to true, the query will throw an exception and abort instead of
producing a warning. This option should be used during development to catch
potential issues early. When the attribute is set to false, warnings will
not be propagated to exceptions and will be returned with the query result.
There is also a server configuration option `--query.fail-on-warning` for
setting the default value for failOnWarning so it does not need to be set
on a per-query level.
- **profile**: `Boolean`
If set to true, then the additional query profiling information will be
returned in the sub-attribute profile of the extra return attribute if the
query result is not served from the query cache.
- **maxTransactionSize**: `Long`
Transaction size limit in bytes. Honored by the RocksDB storage engine only.
- **maxWarningCount**: `Long`
Limits the maximum number of warnings a query will return. The number of
warnings a query will return is limited to 10 by default, but that number
can be increased or decreased by setting this attribute.
- **intermediateCommitCount**: `Long`
Maximum number of operations after which an intermediate commit is
performed automatically. Honored by the RocksDB storage engine only.
- **intermediateCommitSize**: `Long`
Maximum total size of operations after which an intermediate commit is
performed automatically. Honored by the RocksDB storage engine only.
- **satelliteSyncWait**: `Double`
This Enterprise Edition parameter allows to configure how long a DBServer
will have time to bring the satellite collections involved in the query
into sync. The default value is 60.0 (seconds). When the max time has been
reached the query will be stopped.
- **skipInaccessibleCollections**
AQL queries (especially graph traversals) will treat collection to which a
user has no access rights as if these collections were empty. Instead of
returning a forbidden access error, your queries will execute normally.
This is intended to help with certain use-cases: A graph contains several
collections and different users execute AQL queries on that graph.
You can now naturally limit the accessible results by changing the
access rights of users on collections. This feature is only available in
the Enterprise Edition.
- **fullCount**: `Boolean`
If set to true and the query contains a LIMIT clause, then the result will
have an extra attribute with the sub-attributes stats and fullCount,
`{ ... , "extra": { "stats": { "fullCount": 123 } } }`.
The fullCount attribute will contain the number of documents in the result
before the last LIMIT in the query was applied. It can be used to count the
number of documents that match certain filter criteria, but only return a
subset of them, in one go. It is thus similar to MySQL's SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS hint.
Note that setting the option will disable a few LIMIT optimizations and may
lead to more documents being processed, and thus make queries run longer.
Note that the fullCount attribute will only be present in the result if the
query has a LIMIT clause and the LIMIT clause is actually used in the query.
- **maxPlans**: `Integer`
Limits the maximum number of plans that are created by the AQL query optimizer.
- **rules**: `Collection<String>`
A list of to-be-included or to-be-excluded optimizer rules can be put into
this attribute, telling the optimizer to include or exclude specific rules.
To disable a rule, prefix its name with a `-`, to enable a rule, prefix it
with a `+`. There is also a pseudo-rule all, which will match all optimizer rules.
- **stream**: `Boolean`
Specify true and the query will be executed in a streaming fashion.
The query result is not stored on the server, but calculated on the fly.
Beware: long-running queries will need to hold the collection locks for as
long as the query cursor exists. When set to false a query will be executed
right away in its entirety. In that case query results are either returned
right away (if the resultset is small enough), or stored on the arangod
instance and accessible via the cursor API (with respect to the TTL).
It is advisable to only use this option on short-running queries or without
exclusive locks (write-locks on MMFiles). Please note that the query options
cache, count and fullCount will not work on streaming queries. Additionally
query statistics, warnings and profiling data will only be available after
the query is finished. The default value is false.
- **type**: `Class<T>`
The type of the result (POJO class, `VPackSlice`, `String` for JSON, or `Collection`/`List`/`Map`)
**Examples**
```Java
ArangoDB arango = new ArangoDB.Builder().build();
ArangoDatabase db = arango.db("myDB");
ArangoCursor<BaseDocument> cursor = db.query(
"FOR i IN @@collection RETURN i"
new MapBuilder().put("@collection", "myCollection").get(),
new AqlQueryOptions(),
BaseDocument.class
);
```
