There are ~18,000 documents (grows by about 50 each month) the max number of families per make (123 makes) is about 50. Thoughts on those numbers? I haven't got the importer hooked up to import all the data into CouchDB as yet. When I do I'll be to test to see if couch is going to make things simple or not / handle the data. I like couch because 1 document can have all the data in one place related to a unit (car,boat,bike). Then with sinatra/couchrest a simple lookup service is just that, simple :) Thanks, Nick
