On Couchbase Lite (and CouchDB) there is a "purge" command that completely wipes out a document, removing all traces of it from the database. This isn't yet implemented in the Sync Gateway, though. (I hate to say this, but you can emulate a purge by using the Couchbase Server's admin API to go into the gateway's bucket and delete the documents. Don't do this while the gateway is running, though.) --Jens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Couchbase Mobile" group.
