The quantity of each sub-product can be chosen independent. Does 1 doc = 1 product incl all sub-products? or are there references within 1 doc to another, .e.g to use via include_docs=true? Perhaps you can post a link to a few sample docs for us to look at. > When i know want to see the total sales quantity, i created a view that runs through all sales-docs and emits the sold quantity, with the product- and sub-product-number as keys. This way I am able to see the sold quantity by product and by sub-product with a reduce function. Ditto. This seems reasonable, and given that once the view is built, the intermediate values are cached in the view file, this shouldn't be too slow. > The problem i am facing is that it takes a long time to display an overview of all quantities. What is your expectation vs what you saw? How are you querying the view? > Did i maybe design something wrong and should take another approach? e.g. maybe I should create a doc for each sub-product instead of having them all in one product-doc?
