I accidentally created several million documents in my DB which I'd like to undo. ^_^ I know I can query each document to get the revision and then issue a DELETE, but that seems like a lot of additional work. Also, the wiki says "Deleted documents remain in the database forever, even after compaction, to allow eventual consistency when replicating." and that's a lot of dead space. Is there a way that I can purge all of those documents given that I have the _ids that they were saved under? I essentially would like to return the DB to a state before I inserted all of those documents.
I'm also going to be inserting updated documents to the DB with those same _ids, so another alternative is to post updates to each (but that would also require getting the revision ids) and then clearing out old revisions. However, this would require fetching several million revision ids and then figuring out how to force the DB to clear out all old revisions. -Tim
