Thanks. I had completely forgotten about that feature. It looks like it would simplify my "modified incremental" approach... unfortunately, on further analysis my modified incremental approach is suffering one major flaw: it can't delete *missing* view rows. Using local_seq would make it easier to find updated view rows, but would still not be able to detect missing view rows. The (slow, naive) update *everything* and three-db-couch-incarnate approaches seem to be the only way to incrementally delete missing view rows from the chained DB. Or a view changes feed. -- Nick
