Hi Zhengji,

I am in fact working on something similar (think of it as a GnuCash on Couch).

So far I have tested the following concepts:
- storing the "accounting entries" as an array alongside the original source document - storing the "chart of accounts" in the same database as the source documents (with a special _id) - building a view that combines "chart of accounts" and "accounting entries" together in order to obtain the "general ledger".

So far so good.

I am an absolute beginner (both with couch and the web) and I haven't done volume testing, but at the conceptual level CouchDB looks like a very clean and powerful solution for this class of problems, IMHO.

Regards.

Hi all,

I wonder if I could make a browser based persional finance manager
with CouchDB as back-end database.

Is CouchDB suitable for this application?
