Hi everybody, I just started to get familiar with couchDB. One of the most important resource of my research is the draft of O'Reily's book on couchDB. I belive I've got a pretty good overview on how couchDB works but there still some questions regarding views which I hope you can help me to answer.
1) According to the documentation (if I understand correctly) views can be stored only in design documents and running ad-hoc views is slower than running pre-defined views (from the ddoc). How can I create multiple views in one ddoc? A real-life app wil probably need dozens views and I guess it's not the recommended way to store each of them in a single ddoc, is it? 2) How can I pass additional parameters to a view? Consider an application where the user needs to log in and the user id is stored somewhere in the session object. Now I want to query couchDB to get all documents of a specific type which the current user has created. How could I pass that user id to the view function? Thank you very much in advance for answering my questions. Have a nice weekend! Michael
