What would be the best way to exactly duplicate a document, with attachments?
Hi all,
Let's say I have host1/db1/doc_id1 which I want to duplicate to
host2/db2/doc_id2.
The original document has (maybe) attachments. Currently what I am doing is:
1.
Get doc1. I get an attachment stub.
2.
Put this document to host2/db2/doc_id2
3.
Now I should loop through all attachments, get them, and put them to the
new document. Probably something will not be guesses right (content_type,
...).
Instead, I would like to use a method which:
1.
Duplicates the document by using a single GET to obtain the original
documents + attachments, and creates the new document with a single
PUT/POST (is this possible, no matter the amount of attachments?)
2.
Does not use the filesystem to save the attachments
3.
Does not use replication
4.
Does not recreate the attachments: specifically, no re-guessing of the
content type and other attachment properties.
To make it clear: I want an exact copy of the original document, except
that:
1.
The doc_id is different
2.
It is in a different host/database than the original document
3.
There is no revision
Is there any built-in couchdb support for this?
Thanks,
Daniel

this not really possible diectly for now.
maybe copy to a new doc id, replicate this docid and delete on the source?
(why renaming on the other host?)

Yup. I can’t recall if that returns JSON or MIME-multipart by default; if the former, try adding a request header “Accept: multipart/*” to get the more compact multipart format.

Thanks,
That is interesting, but it will not allow me to copy to another
server/database.
I have remembered that I can get all attachments (no stubs) at once with
attachments=true, and that is exactly what I need.
BR,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
You can use the copy API, that should duplicate the document for you. See the docs for more http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/api/document/common.html#copy--db-docid
