A common example is to use a doc.type field in each doc; here I have locations & contacts in the same DB; { "_id": "DEU.Berlin", "type": "location", "country": "DEU", "city": "Berlin", "address": "Speedbone Internet & Connectivity GmbH\nAlboin Kontor\nAlboinstr. 36-42\n12103 Berlin" } { "_id": "d...@example.org", "type": "contact", "location": "NZL.Wellington", "phone": "+64 4 9727208", "fax": "+64 4 9727123", "name": "Dave Cottlehuber" } and then they can be filtered/split separately in views with a map/reduce; function(doc) { if (doc.type == "location") { emit(doc.location, doc.type ) } }; http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/lists.html cheers Dave
