Resending with a different subject because I think this is the best
summary of CouchDB I've seen so far. +1 Internets to David.

The reason I ask is, it appears the advantages of CouchDB *right

about a highly robust, flexible and high throughput read-mostly data
store. The other advantage is that the API is easy, approachable,
and
web-ready, unlike many stores out there. I love the pre-compiled
views that
allow you to have highly efficient slice-and-dice views into your
documents. I also think it's an excellent base for a peer-to-peer
replicated data store, allowing people to collaborate over the
Internet
without requiring a centralized server (although I am concerned
about how
easy it is for a Mere Mortal to install a CouchDB-based app on their
computer).
