I'm pretty sure CouchDB doesn't have any limit on the number of revisions of a document. Perhaps the API/library you're using to access it has a bug that breaks with 4-digit revision numbers? What API are you using? > It is unclear where that came from, but I was wondering if it is > possible to somehow compact just the document instead of compacting > the whole database i.e. delete all but the last document revision. Not really; compaction by nature affects the entire database (it copies the current revisions to a new file and replaces the old database file with the new one.) But unless your app has a need to access old revisions, compacting the whole database shouldn't cause a problem. —Jens
