Right. Just as in SQL, databases are entirely independent of each other for querying purposes. Don’t be afraid of storing different types of data — different “tables”, to coin a phrase — in the same database. The usual convention is to use a property called “type” to distinguish types of documents. Then your views’ map functions can easily check the type to choose which documents to index. —Jens
