HTTP Interface for AQL Query Cursors
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
### Database Cursors
|
|
|
|
This is an introduction to ArangoDB's HTTP Interface for Queries. Results of AQL
|
|
and simple queries are returned as cursors in order to batch the communication
|
|
between server and client. Each call returns a number of documents in a batch
|
|
and an indication if the current batch has been the final batch. Depending on
|
|
the query, the total number of documents in the result set might or might not be
|
|
known in advance. In order to free server resources the client should delete the
|
|
cursor as soon as it is no longer needed.
|
|
|
|
To execute a query, the query details need to be shipped from the client to
|
|
the server via an HTTP POST request.
