.. phpclass:: MongoDB\\Database

   Provides methods for common operations on a database,
   such as executing database commands and managing collections.
   
   You can construct a database directly using the PHP extension's
   ``Manager`` class or select a database from the |php-library|'s
   :phpclass:`MongoDB\\Client`
   class.
   
   :phpclass:`MongoDB\\Database` supports the :php:`readConcern
   <mongodb-driver-readconcern>`, :php:`readPreference
   <mongodb-driver-readpreference>`, :php:`typeMap
   <mongodb.persistence.php#mongodb.persistence.typemaps>`, and
   :php:`writeConcern <mongodb-driver-writeconcern>` options.
   If you omit an option, the database inherits the value from the
   Manager constructor argument or the Client object used to select
   the database.
   
   Operations within the ``Database`` class
   :phpmethod:`MongoDB\\Database::command` method
   inherit the Database's options.
