Time for an experimental, black-box approach: ---- require 'rubygems' require 'restclient' require 'json' DB="http://127.0.0.1:5984/collator"; RestClient.delete DB rescue nil RestClient.put "#{DB}","" (32..126).each do |c| RestClient.put "#{DB}/#{c.to_s(16)}", {"x"=>c.chr}.to_json end RestClient.put "#{DB}/_design/test", <<EOS { "views":{ "one":{ "map":"function (doc) { emit(doc.x,null); }" } } } EOS puts RestClient.get("#{DB}/_design/test/_view/one") ---- This shows the collation sequence to be as follows. {"total_rows":95,"offset":0,"rows":[ {"id":"20","key":" ","value":null}, {"id":"60","key":"`","value":null}, {"id":"5e","key":"^","value":null}, {"id":"5f","key":"_","value":null}, {"id":"2d","key":"-","value":null}, {"id":"2c","key":",","value":null}, {"id":"3b","key":";","value":null}, {"id":"3a","key":":","value":null}, {"id":"21","key":"!","value":null}, {"id":"3f","key":"?","value":null}, {"id":"2e","key":".","value":null}, {"id":"27","key":"'","value":null}, {"id":"22","key":"\"","value":null}, {"id":"28","key":"(","value":null}, {"id":"29","key":")","value":null}, {"id":"5b","key":"[","value":null}, {"id":"5d","key":"]","value":null}, {"id":"7b","key":"{","value":null}, {"id":"7d","key":"}","value":null}, {"id":"40","key":"@","value":null}, {"id":"2a","key":"*","value":null}, {"id":"2f","key":"/","value":null}, {"id":"5c","key":"\\","value":null}, {"id":"26","key":"&","value":null}, {"id":"23","key":"#","value":null}, {"id":"25","key":"%","value":null}, {"id":"2b","key":"+","value":null}, {"id":"3c","key":"<","value":null}, {"id":"3d","key":"=","value":null}, {"id":"3e","key":">","value":null}, {"id":"7c","key":"|","value":null}, {"id":"7e","key":"~","value":null}, {"id":"24","key":"$","value":null}, {"id":"30","key":"0","value":null}, {"id":"31","key":"1","value":null}, {"id":"32","key":"2","value":null}, {"id":"33","key":"3","value":null}, {"id":"34","key":"4","value":null}, {"id":"35","key":"5","value":null}, {"id":"36","key":"6","value":null}, {"id":"37","key":"7","value":null}, {"id":"38","key":"8","value":null}, {"id":"39","key":"9","value":null}, {"id":"61","key":"a","value":null}, {"id":"41","key":"A","value":null}, {"id":"62","key":"b","value":null}, {"id":"42","key":"B","value":null}, {"id":"63","key":"c","value":null}, {"id":"43","key":"C","value":null}, {"id":"64","key":"d","value":null}, {"id":"44","key":"D","value":null}, {"id":"65","key":"e","value":null}, {"id":"45","key":"E","value":null}, {"id":"66","key":"f","value":null}, {"id":"46","key":"F","value":null}, {"id":"67","key":"g","value":null}, {"id":"47","key":"G","value":null}, {"id":"68","key":"h","value":null}, {"id":"48","key":"H","value":null}, {"id":"69","key":"i","value":null}, {"id":"49","key":"I","value":null}, {"id":"6a","key":"j","value":null}, {"id":"4a","key":"J","value":null}, {"id":"6b","key":"k","value":null}, {"id":"4b","key":"K","value":null}, {"id":"6c","key":"l","value":null}, {"id":"4c","key":"L","value":null}, {"id":"6d","key":"m","value":null}, {"id":"4d","key":"M","value":null}, {"id":"6e","key":"n","value":null}, {"id":"4e","key":"N","value":null}, {"id":"6f","key":"o","value":null}, {"id":"4f","key":"O","value":null}, {"id":"70","key":"p","value":null}, {"id":"50","key":"P","value":null}, {"id":"71","key":"q","value":null}, {"id":"51","key":"Q","value":null}, {"id":"72","key":"r","value":null}, {"id":"52","key":"R","value":null}, {"id":"73","key":"s","value":null}, {"id":"53","key":"S","value":null}, {"id":"74","key":"t","value":null}, {"id":"54","key":"T","value":null}, {"id":"75","key":"u","value":null}, {"id":"55","key":"U","value":null}, {"id":"76","key":"v","value":null}, {"id":"56","key":"V","value":null}, {"id":"77","key":"w","value":null}, {"id":"57","key":"W","value":null}, {"id":"78","key":"x","value":null}, {"id":"58","key":"X","value":null}, {"id":"79","key":"y","value":null}, {"id":"59","key":"Y","value":null}, {"id":"7a","key":"z","value":null}, {"id":"5a","key":"Z","value":null} ]} I've never seen this sequence before. It's not even EBCDIC :-) Adding aa into the pot gives: ... {"id":"61","key":"a","value":null}, {"id":"41","key":"A","value":null}, {"id":"X","key":"aa","value":null}, ... As you say, that is most bizarre. Cheers, Brian.
