Re: Unable to delete empty key document

How did you get the empty id document in CouchDB? Or is the _id =
"\"\"" and not really empty?

Another guess: perhaps the key is something that the HTML interface of
Futon will not display. For example, a key which looks like a tag
<FOO> will not be shown by the browser, unless you look at the source
code of the page.

I'd take a look at the HTML source code of the Futon page displaying the record.
