Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-576:
---------------------------------------
The most common way of accidentally deleting a db when you meant to delete a
document is when you form the URL but your doc id is an empty string. This is
why CouchDB refuses to delete a db if you have a 'rev' parameter.
Cloudant does not immediately delete database files, they're moved to a
"deleted" directory and are only really deleted once 24 hours have passed.
> Require current update_seq when deleting a database for extra safety.
