documents not deleted after database deletion

[Borja Martín <bo...@dagi3d.net>]

Hi,
I've noticed that if I delete a database and then create a new one with the
same previous name, all the documents it had are still there. Is this an
usual behaviour? I'm dropping the database because I found it the easiest
way to delete all the documents during the development phase. Maybe there is
another way to this...

Thanks in advance

Regards

Hi again,
I'll answer myself. There wasn't anything wrong at all. The problem was that
I had a hanged background process making requests to the couchdb database
all the time, so whenever I created the database again, it was filled with
the documents.
Sorry

Regards

I have not encountered this behavior before and to be honest I delete
databases on nearly an hourly basis.

Some questions that may sounds stupid:
- Which version are you using?
- Do you have multiple server you are connected to with Futon?
- Have you tried an actual curl -X DELETE http://localhost:5984/dbname
? What's the answer you get from that?

Cheers :)
