OK, you must be using CouchDB for some kind of analytics, or other batch processing, if you can get away for _days_ with stale views. Which is a totally valid and important use of CouchDB. But it’s completely different from using it in a live user-facing application, where changes need to be reflected pretty near instantly. That’s why I’m disagreeing with Jason’s unqualified statements. If anyone needs an example, consider a typical online shopping site. Let’s say the page that shows the contents of your shopping cart is driven by a view query. If a customer adds an item to their cart and then goes to view their cart a few seconds later, the item had better show up. If it takes 30 seconds to show up — let alone a week — that’s going to confuse and annoy users. —Jens
