7.3. Decrement Methods

The Decrement() methods reduce the value of a given key if the corresponding value can be parsed to an integer value. These operations are provided at a protocol level to eliminate the need to get, update, and reset a simple integer value in the database. All the .NET Client Library methods support the use of an explicit offset value that will be used to reduce the stored value in the database.

API Callobject.Decrement(key, defaultvalue, offset)
Asynchronousno
Description Decrement the value of an existing numeric key. The Couchbase Server stores numbers as unsigned values. Therefore the lowest you can decrement is to zero.
ReturnsCasResult<ulong> ( Cas result of bool )
Arguments 
string key Document ID used to identify the value
object defaultvalue Value to be stored if key does not already exist
Integer offset Integer offset value to increment/decrement (default 1)

Decrement the inventory counter by 1, defaulting to 100 if the key doesn't exist.

client.Decrement("inventory", 100, 1);
API Callobject.Decrement(key, defaultvalue, offset, validfor)
Asynchronousno
Description Decrement the value of an existing numeric key. The Couchbase Server stores numbers as unsigned values. Therefore the lowest you can decrement is to zero.
ReturnsCasResult<ulong> ( Cas result of bool )
Arguments 
string key Document ID used to identify the value
object defaultvalue Value to be stored if key does not already exist
Integer offset Integer offset value to increment/decrement (default 1)
TimeSpan validfor Expiry time (in seconds) for key

Decrement the inventory counter by 1, defaulting to 100 if the key doesn't exist and set an expiry of 60 seconds.

client.Decrement("inventory", 100, 1, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60));
API Callobject.Decrement(key, defaultvalue, offset, expiresat)
Asynchronousno
Description Decrement the value of an existing numeric key. The Couchbase Server stores numbers as unsigned values. Therefore the lowest you can decrement is to zero.
ReturnsCasResult<ulong> ( Cas result of bool )
Arguments

Integer offset Integer offset value to increment/decrement (default 1)
DateTime expiresat Explicit expiry time for key

Decrement the inventory counter by 1, defaulting to 100 if the key doesn't exist and set an expiry of 5 minutes.

client.Decrement("inventory", 100, 1, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(5));
