Hi I have a Use Case where I store an Account Tree in the database. Each Account Node points to its parent and I can resolve the tree using several database queries by getting the account then its parent then its parents parent, I guess you get the idea!
We store data as attributes in these account objects and inheritance is used to easily propogate attributes down the account tree and override them at each node as required. I've just been reading the wiki and seen a nice feature where I can emit index entries with foreign id's which is great if I already know them in the doc my map function is working on however I would prefer to just reference my parent and then *follow* that link to get the parent doc and retrieve it's parent id from there. So I guess what I'm trying to ask for here is whether I can retrieve another document from the database, by id, from within the map function in a view? I can see lots of other places in our design where this could be really useful especially for validation of referenced id's within documents. Thanks John
