Hi, I am just learning about CouchDB so please excuse this nooby question. I've read lots the past few days including http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Bulk_Document_API and a fair bit of two of the online CouchDB books.
My question is how do I do some simple things like: 1) Delete all documents where key.value = xxx 2) Update all documents where key.value = xxx so value = yyy I want the DB to do these, not for me to have to iterate through the DB in code. From what I've read about Views, they are read-only and therefore can't be used in update/delete operations. I've read lots on views and CouchDB seems great at getting information out in all sorts of ways, however basic bulk update/delete operations are so far alluding me. My main exposure to DB's at this time is using SQLite and these sorts of things are of course easy and quick to do in SQL. Hopefully I'm missing something obvious. --- Neville Franks, http://www.surfulater.com
