And afterwards deleting every single document using the following request for each one: http://developer.couchbase.com/documentation/mobile/1.1.0/develop/references/sync-gateway/rest-api/document/delete---db---doc-/index.html Deleting a replicated doc adds a new ‘tombstone’ revision that marks the deletion. You don’t want that. (In a nutshell, this tombstone will be newer than your old revision you’re restoring, so it takes precedence over it.) What you want to do is purge the server-side doc; this literally deletes it and all its revisions from storage, causing the server to forget about it completely. The problem is that Sync Gateway currently doesn’t implement the _purge call, and even if it did, it would be a privileged call (part of the admin-only API) not something a client could use. What you’ll need to do is implement a bit of app-server code that can respond to an (authorized) request to purge a user’s docs, and will use a Couchbase Server ‘Delete' call to erase the document from the bucket, which is pretty much equivalent to a purge. —Jens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Couchbase Mobile" group.
