this may sound a little strange i am trying to build up a "content" object that can contain several kinds of files.
for example, it might contain a some text, and an image, and a video clip i want to tag my documents in couch so that i can retrieve the whole "family" of documents so i use a field called "name" and i put the uuid generated for the first document in the family into that field in all the documents i want to belong to the content "family".... i add that documents own uuid as the second part of the "name": 89ehjwol8e7/7896w89e6r i this case we would have documents T I AND V, and they would all have "names" with the same uuid at the beginning of the string so i can make a view with the "name" fields as the key and get back all three documents by using a regular expression that looks for the common head of the string in all the name fields ..... it gets more complicated later... but first i wanted to check and see if this approach "fits" with the way couchdb "wants" things to be done i love couch... i really think its going to be huge.... i'm coming from a ms access application developer background... so a lot of stuff is strange at first... and i have a lot of "relational" habits about how i think about data thanks ken tyler
