Couchdb: Jerry, Nic, and Omer

CouchDB is an open-source document store database that uses JSON for document storage and queries. It is designed to handle changes from multiple sources using revision control and each document has a revision number. Views in CouchDB are like queries and are written as JavaScript functions against the documents to emit key-value pairs that can then be reduced.

CouchDB is an open-source document store DB that uses JSON for


document storage.
Queries are done through JavaScript, API is MapReduce + HTTP

CouchDB

Designed to handle changes from multiple sources.

Revision control exists for this purpose; each document has a revision
number which can be used to compare to another document's
revision number.

Introduction to JSON

All JSON documents start with { and end with }


Strings are always enclosed with double-quotes
Items inside JSON objects are separated by commas
Example:

"userName":"Mark",
"age":33,
"gender":"M"
}

JSON Constructs
More Examples:

{
"fruitName": "apple",
"color": "green",
"numberOfSeeds": 5,
"parentTypes": [
"Granny Smith",
"Ambrosia"
]

GET
Retrieve database information or documents.
curl X GET host:port/db_name

Gets the database information


curl X GET host:port/db_name/doc_id

Gets the documents in the database


curl X GET host:port/_all_dbs

Get all the databases


curl X GET host:port/db_name/_all_docs

Get all the documents in certain database

HEAD
Head returns the basic information of the document.
curl X HEAD host:port/db_name/doc_id

PUT and POST


PUT and POST adds databases or documents.
curl X PUT host:port/db_name

This creates a database


curl X PUT host:port/db_name/doc_id d {\ key\:
\value\, key\: \value\.}

To store number: \key\: 1


To store array: \key\:[ \value1\, \value2\.]

DELETE and UPDATE


When you want to delete or update a document in couchDB
you have to provide _rev at the end of the query.
curl X DELETE host:port/db_name/doc_id?rev=

It will only delete the document if you provided with the correct
rev
curl X PUT host:port/db_name/doc_id?rev=/ -d
{}

This will overwrite the original document with the same id.

VIEW
After you created the database and the documents you can
then create views (used like queries).
We can do views in cURL, but it is difficult to PUT, UPDATE,
DELETE views through cURL. It is easier to do it through Futon.

Two main types: permanent (via GET) and temporary (via


POST)

Temporary views are computationally expensive, so should


not be used in deployed systems.

CouchDB was designed with frequent 'inserts' in mind, along


with infrequent changes to 'selects' (views)
You can make Temporary Views through Futon, then save them to
make them Permanent VIews

Under database you can create view

Views

Views are essentially the map component of MapReduce in CouchDB.

Because of this, views are written in JavaScript as functions

A few necessary components:

function (doc) {}
doc is the current document being processed; each document goes though the map one
by one

Examples:
function(doc){
emit(doc.name,doc.age);
}

function(doc){
if(doc.scores.name){
for(var i in soc.scores)
emit(doc.scores[i].name,doc.scores[i].score)
}
}

You can do sum or count by using the reduce function


MAP:
Function(doc){
If(doc.scores.name){
For(var i in soc.scores)
emit(doc.scores[i].name,doc.scores[i].score)
}
}
REDUCE:
_sum or _count or _stats
