Hello,
I am trying to get to grips with Couchdb. Though it looks very
interesting, I just dont understand how to query Couchdb for an
abitrary value, as is possible with sql. Imagine I had a number of
very simple documents, like:
{"_id":"b1","_rev":"3573740128", "book":"Potter","author":"Rowling"}
and I wanted to find all books written by Mr Tolkien?
I could create a view like:
function(doc) { if (doc.author == "Tolkien") emit(null, doc); }
and then query:
http://127.0.0.1:5984/books/_view/byauthor/tolkien
Is there any way to pass "Tolkien" as a variable to the view, or do I
have to create a new view, every time I want to query for another
keyword?
Thanks
Bernd
