Hello all,
I'd like to write a list function to render a database as a CSV
file. According to the wiki [0] the URL looks like this:
/<database>/_design/<designdoc>/_list/<list>/<view>
So, a named view is required to run a list function? I'd like to
dump the complete database to CSV. Of course I could write a simple
view function that emits all documents, but it would be nice if I
could just run the list function on the database without using a view.
Is this a technical limitation or design decision? Any ideas on this?
We could special-case the _all_docs view, but then, doing it manually is
so simple that I'd rather not add that to core CouchDB (…just yet, if
there's
more demand for this feature, I'm happy to reconsider :)
Cheers
Jan
