Bulk update best practices

[Fabio Di Bernardini <fd...@altraqua.com>]

Hi,

my use case: i would set a flag ("read" or "unread") in a group of documents
with only one request.
My first idea was to send a list of ids using an _update handler but reading
docs it seem to work only on one document.
I'm wrong? How to solve this case?

Thanks.

There is no way to bulk update documents on the server.
You can fetch all the documents you want to edit with _all_docs and update
them with _bulk_docs, but that is the best you get.
See here: https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Bulk_Document_API
