Getting revision date

Hello All,

Is it possible to get the date of the revision (or any timestamp associated
with it)?

http://localhost:5984/db/docid?revs_info=true returns the list of revision
but without any time stamp.

Thanks,

Miki,

There is no concept of time in CouchDB as that would rely on a
synchronized global clock which does not exist.

HTH,

Not for revisions - you should add your own 'modified' timestamp when
updating.

However, if you used the time-based uuid generator, then you can work out
the creation time by parsing the document's _id.
