具有多个参数的CouchDB视图

Question

I have a database that has an id column and a ts column. I need to be able to pass in the id and a start time and end time to retrieve all the values during the specified period. Can I do this with a view, or do I need the view to return all of the values that match the id? My concern is that I will be returning and parsing a lot more data than I really care about. Here is the format of my DB from my current view, which simply returns everything that matches the id...

... my current query is http://localhost:5984/hist/_design/hist/_view/byId?key=%22A-Meter-KW%22&descending=true . I'd like to passing a start and end time as well, something like http://localhost:5984/hist/_design/hist/_view/byId?key=%22A-Meter-KW%22&descending=true&start=1437963300000&end=1437966000000 but cannot figure out how to do this.

Answer 1

EDITED: In order for Couch to match your query all the data (eg:A-Meter-KW and date) must be in the key , emitted by the view. So I think you might do something like:

emit([key,year,month,day],doc._id)

Then you can use the parameters startkey and endkey to filter the results properly.

Reference: http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/views.html#many

Side consideration: I would not use an "id" property inside my documents, because it could get easily confused with the "_id" (compulsory) one.
