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! 

        1. One popular definition of a “NoSQL Database” mentions the
following 

        characteristics: 

        schema-free 

        yes/no 

        support of easy replication 

        yes/no 

        simple API 

        yes/no 

        eventually consistent / BASE (not ACID) 

        yes/no 

        able to manage a huge amount of data 

        yes/no 

        Which of them applies to your product? 

        2. What is the unique feature of your database? 

        3. Of which type is your database from your point of view? 

        Key Value 

        yes/no 

        document store 

        yes/no 

        (Wide) Colomn Stores 

        yes/no 

        Graph database 

        yes/no 

        Object Database 

        yes/no 

        XML Database 

        yes/no 

        Grid Database 

        yes/no 

        other: 

        4. Is it possible to store and analyse data like 

        Customer information 

        yes/no 

        . gpx 

        yes/no 

        .xml 

        yes/no 

        5. Is it possible to have a client for your database 

        running on Android or any other mobile OS? 

        yes/no 

        6. In case your database supports a graph data model, 

        is it possible to store attribute for nodes and edges? 

        yes/no 

        do you offer a traversal API? 

        yes/no 

        7. Can you indicate some reference customers using your database
within the 

        context of physical measurement data?
