so paul what you are saying is this
so if we use sortable_timestamp or created/date/time in my case
the rows are automatically sorted in descending order and use the 1st 100 u
get and process them in python

is it possible to construct this in the view itself and get like the 340 items that are created in the last one hour without resorting to python

No. You are suggesting having the view consist of those records from the last hour. The problem is that CouchDB requires that the map and reduce functions are strictly functional i.e. the will always produce the same output for the same input. CouchDB will not work if this isn't the case because the view rows created by a map will be regenerated only when the document from which they are computed, changes.

In your case you are expecting that the output will depend on the current time.

OTOH, why do you need to process them in python - the view request to return those records from the last hour is easy - just use startkey=(now - 1 hour).


Sorry if i am asking something basic
Thanks

Thanks chris
Ok, but how to get the list of items that are in the last one hour, since
the list is about 3 million users

Paul,

emit([doc.user, doc.sortable_timestamp], null)

Paul


so extracting the 3 million using this view and then processing the
results
in python doesnt seem feasible
thanks a lot

just have a map view that calls emit(doc.timestamp, null) as long as
your timestamp format sorts correctly.

This is very useful for eg., to delete posts older than one day
get users who logged in the last 1 hour etc

select * from users where ((extract('epoch' from now()) -

is it possible to construct such views using couchdb permanent views?

thanks

It's amazing that the one side of the conversation that survived is "I don't know art, but I know what I like". The reply from the artist was "Madam, so does a cow".
