Produktbeschreibung

Three of CouchDB's creators show you how to use this document-oriented database as a standalone application framework or with high-volume, distributed applications. With its simple model for storing, processing, and accessing data, CouchDB is ideal for web applications that handle huge amounts of loosely structured data. That alone would stretch the limits of a relational database, yet CouchDB offers an open source solution that's reliable, scales easily, and responds quickly.CouchDB works with self-contained data that has loose or ad-hoc connections. It's a model that fits many real-world items, such as contacts, invoices, and receipts, but you'll discover that this database can easily handle data of any kind. With this book, you'll learn how to work with CouchDB through its RESTful web interface, and become familiar with key features such as simple document CRUD (create, read, update, delete), advanced MapReduce, deployment tuning, and more.Understand the basics of document-oriented storage and manipulationInteract with CouchDB entirely though HTTP using its RESTful interfaceModel data as self-contained JSON documentsHandle evolving data schemas naturallyQuery and aggregate data in CouchDB using MapReduce viewsReplicate data between nodesTune CouchDB for increased performance and reliability

Rezensionen

"Das Buch fasst sich angenehm kurz, geht aber auf die wichtigsten Views und Design-Dokumente ausführlich und mit einer Menge praktischer Beispiele ein. Es ist deshalb jedem zu empfehlen, der schon einmal von CouchDB gehört hat und neugierig geworden ist." -- Linux-Magazin, Mai 2010

"Auf 272 Seiten wird knapp, aber sehr prägnant alles erläutert, was man wissen und beachten sollte, wenn man mit CouchDB arbeiten möchte. Die Autoren schaffen es dabei selbst auf Details einzugehen und schreiben ohne einen mit viel akademischen Weisheiten zu bombardieren funktionierende Lösungsätze. Immer wieder wird bei den jeweiligen Aspekten auf das zerntrale abgehoben und somit dem Leser verständlich gemacht, wo die (teilweise gravierenden) Unterschiede liegen.

Man merkt das die Autoren reichlich Erfahrung haben müssen, und so finden sich auch nützliche Angaben über Performance der einzelnen Angebote oder Warnungen/Informationen zu potentiellen Fehleinschätzungen die ein Neuling in diesem Bereich begehen könnte. Ein sehr gelungenes Buch." -- php-nuke.de, April 2010
