I understand the concepts of CouchDB that I want but I don't know how to implement them. Like views. I understand that you can have a view that is part of the CouchDB database but how do I create a design document that contains the view without creating it many times. Or the initial id. From the documentation I understand that if an id is not supplied then CouchDB automatically generates the ID. For some drivers like Hammock the ID is completely hidden from the user and managed "behind the scenes". In Hammock also the design document is automatically updated from the queries. Other drivers require an explicit ID. My point is that there is a difference between the raw REST interface and the drivers used to develop applications. My purpose in posing this question is to see how others have developed applications. I know that everyone is not only using REST. And if they were I would still be interested in how they generated and maintained their database(s). I initially started with DreamSeat so naturally I was more interested in those users that have experience with this driver. Especially as there is little or no documentation and not discussion group dedicated to this driver or any of the individual drivers. Since this was a CouchDB group it was more likely that this group would have experience with using this driver. If there is another group or documentation that I don't know about that would be more appropriate please direct me there.

It sounds like your next step should be to read more about either CouchDB or the framework you're using, or both. It's not a good use of people's time to re-explain the fundamentals when there are already multiple sources of documentation. For CouchDB, http://guide.couchdb.org is a decent place to start. If it's the DreamSeat framework you need help with, it doesn't seem that this is the right place to ask for it. I have never heard anyone mention it here before. Hopefully it has its own mailing list or help forum. -Jens
