Hey Couch-Users! How do you guys handle timestamping documents?
I have seen some advice to generate the timestamps in the application. However, this has the drawback that multiple applications touching the same database may generate inconsistent timestamps. Validation might be able to reject updates when applications submit timestamps which are too un-synchronized, but this seems like a weird way to solve the problem. I found the documentation on using Document Update Handlers (http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Document_Update_Handlers) however these have to be triggered separately. I'm also not clear on how to trigger that update through jcouchdb.
Is there a way to trigger the timestamp to be added automatically when the document is created?
