Using skip as suggested would be bad, yes. ?descending=true&limit=10 should do what you want, are you sure you're passing the parameters correctly? If using curl, it's a common mistake not pass the & character (which backgrounds the task and everything after it is ignored). So put the whole url in single quotes. e.g;
curl 'localhost:5984/pathtoview?descending=true&limit=10' B. On 26 February 2011 13:01, Tristan Sloughter <[email protected]> wrote: > My understanding is skip should only be used with large numbers.
