g'day so i have a local db that replicates bidirectional with several others. an app uses local db, listens to _changes and also puts things sometimes. Any way to avoid it seeing it's own changes? i guess i can put a manual field e.g. "source" to *each* document or something... but that's not very neat. but may be the only way, hmmm - e.g. how to differ between different copies of same app.. running in parallel. ah, and any way to automaticaly sequence items? Even if "eventual" as in "eventual consistency".. Now i am putting a separate field for that ( =db.doc_count ) at each update, but i dont like it.. there is _local_seq in the document API that returns the sequenceid of the revision, but that is not accesible in views.. or actualy now i see it can be made accessible by adding extra options in the view definition. hmm i have to try that. ciao svil
