CouchBD startkey and endkey issue

Question

I'm using couchDB and I have a problem trying to get the information that I want. Here's an example of my keys

[1,"Demo","March"]
[1,"Demo","May"]
[1, "No Demo", "May"]

I want to get all the keys that have "Demo" in the middle, I'm trying this:

http://localhost:PORT/database/_design/demo/_view/demoview?starkey=[{},"Demo",{}]&endkey=[{},"Demo",{}]

But I'm getting all the records, any idea?

Answer 1

You can't, sorry. you can only ask for key ranges based on prefix, you can get the values between [1, ...] and [999, "foo"], but you can't possibly write a query that will give you the values between [..., "foo"] and [..., "bar"]

For that, you need to write another view, one where the "demo" fragment appears first in the resulting keys.
