Dear Sir or Madame,
your database
CouchDB
is listed on www.nosql-database.org.
I am working on my master thesis
„Market research about storing and analysing physical measurement
data
using NoSQL databases.“
In the course of my researches I would like to ask you a few
non-specific
questions about your database. It would be very nice if you would
take the
short time to answer as many questions as possible.
Any answer is better than no answer!
