Determines the provider's capability to read data from secondary (slave) servers. It controls whether the provider can access and retrieve information from these backup systems.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

The SlaveOK property allows read operations on secondary servers in a replica set. This connection property is deprecated. The recommended option is ReadPreference for version 4.2 or above.

When set to true, it enables reading from secondary replica set servers, in addition to the primary server. This property is useful for configuring how the driver queries secondary servers using the ReadPreference setting.
