I dont understand why you would need filtered replication if you were using one db for all users. Filtered replication by views would come in handy if you were indeed replicating to one db/user. One db/user also requires you to keep information about the users in the documents. If a user's rights changes, then the database needs to go through a normalization. This would get real heavy if the db is huge and rights change frequently. In addition, all views would need to contain this additional level of indexing. > You can also > validate reads [4] if you need it. Same as above, the docs need to carry around the users they are assigned to. Another way to go about it is to update the validate function every time user rights changes. But that smells.
