List and show are not stored procedure. We already discussed that Benoit. http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Formatting_with_Show_and_List
From the documentation: "Show and list functions are side effect free and idempotent. They can not make additional HTTP requests against CouchDB. Their purpose is to render JSON documents in other formats." Apples are not pears. I'm not buying it, stop selling list and show like stored proc. A stored procedure, in general, is not side effect free or idempotent. > If you just want a database then any KV is enough for your purpose.

Not in the way they are. To me, actually list and show are useless. I'm sorry, this is what I think. Can we just move on? -Filippo
