Hi Stephen,

I will keep that in mind, thanks for sharing.

What Simon said.  Im doing this in production.  I have a python script set up 
as a cron job which queries the expire_time view.  Docs that get returned get 
deleted. Its a real small, simple script and works like a charm.

Im pretty sure you know this, but make sure to page through your view results.  
If your database hasn't been 'cleaned out' for a while and the database is 
huge, you're going to get quite a massive response.  I once made the mistake of 
not paging my results in a node program.  V8's mem limit is 1gb on a 64 bit 
machine, so once this limit was exceeded, the program would crash and never 
complete its job.  You could see where this leads if that program is 
responsible for getting rid of old docs and thus keeping database size under 
control.

Look ahead, understand the shift, and imagine the right solution five years 
from now. Then do it!

Okay, the link works now. Must have been an issue at Apache.

@Simon:

Thanks, again. Could you please double check the link, I can't open it.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Erlang. I need to do this task on node.js 
with nano (https://github.com/dscape/nano).

Sure, you can use _bulk_docs and send a json doc like:

{
   "docs": [
     {"_id": "expired_doc_0", "_rev": "1-62657917", "_deleted": true},
     {"_id": "expired_doc_1", "_rev": "1-2089673485", "_deleted": true},
     {"_id": "expired_doc_2", "_rev": "1-2063452834", "_deleted": true}
   ]
}

Thanks Simon,

that's what I was thinking too, but have a problem to figure out how
bulk delete should be implemented. Do you have some advise or code
example on that?

You need to have a view keyed by expire_date and an external process (some cron 
script, say) that queries that appropriately and makes the (bulk) delete of old 
docs.
Cheers

I have a db with docs that have a field expire_date. I want to auto
delete those docs when expire_date has passed, but have no clue how to
do that.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Stephan
