atomic update of several documents

[Dusty Leary <dl...@gmail.com>]

I am writing an app in python.
The python couchdb lib defines a function db.update(documents), with
the comment "Perform a bulk update or insertion of the given documents
using a single HTTP request."

I know a single document update fails if my revision is old.

My question is, does a batch update fail for all documents if it fails for one?

Yeah, _bulk_docs which the python lib is using is atomic. All writes
succeed or fail.
