This is a feature request. Is it possible to add a DELETE command to the views? Something like
DELETE /db/_design/foo/_view/bar?<view-params> What I'm looking for is a way to bulk delete the docs that match the views without having to fetch the doc _id's and _rev's first before bulk deleting them. Saves a round trip if Couch can just take the latest revision of the docs that match the query and bulk delete them. Similar to what's described in this gist: https://gist.github.com/790015 One issue that I can think about is there might be multiple emit's for each doc so Couch has to do additional work to uniquify the _id's before deleting them, but this would dramatically simplify the client requesting this. Dunno how hard this is to implement. Thanks, K. --- http://twitter.com/pcapr http://labs.mudynamics.com
