Dang hit the wrong key!
Usually the convention is you have some kind of 'type' attribute (so type
checking) on your documents or you check that all the fields you are
interested in exist (more of the duck approach) in your map function. So
perhaps your map function is something like:
function(doc){
if (doc.type != 'line_item') return;
emit([doc.l_shipdate, doc.l_returnflag, doc.l_linestate], doc);
}
reduce function would then aggregate everything:
function(key, values, rereduce){
var sum_qty = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < values.length; i++){
sum_qty += values[i].l_quantity;
}
/* aggregate others */
return {
/* build return object */
}
}
You can filter by date with parameters to the view something like
'startkey=["<date to filter>"]' in the query parameters.
Just trying to give you a rough idea (hopefully helping more the hurting
yoru understanding), although there is probably a better way to do this. You
may want to check out the book for some basic info.
