Unfortunately that won't work. Consider the following documents (leaving out the seconds and UTC offset:
[[2010,04,01, 8,04], [2010,04,01, 9,23]] [[2010,04,01, 10,24], [2010,04,02, 6,45]] [[2010,04,01, 11,03], [2010,04,01, 16,20]] [[2010,04,01, 12,24], [2010,04,01, 15,45]] [[2010,04,02, 10,24], [2010,04,02, 13,45]] Now I want to get back all documents for [2010,04,01, 12,00] Emitting as you suggested and setting the startkey to [2010,04,01, 11,59, 2010,04,01 12,01] I would not get the third document, but fourth and fifth document.
