In my last piece, we looked at the basic mechanics of MySQL and CouchDB, and compared the ways in which you would model the data, and how the basic queries and lists of records operate, from the MySQL SQL statement, to the CouchDB View.

Keeping up with the Documentation
We use an incremental release model on the documentation here at Couchbase. What that means is that we change and update the material on a nearly daily basis, including the main server manuals, SDK guides and information and other details. Sometimes these are minor changes, and sometimes these are really major changes.
Of course you can always determine when the documentation was last updated by checking either the documentation library page:
How to Move from MySQL to CouchDB: Part 1
If you have a database built using MySQL, you might be wondering if, and more importantly how, that database (and your application) can be moved to CouchDB. The biggest stumbling block is not the technical aspects of creating the CouchDB or storing your information (although they are important), instead it’s about looking at your data in a different way, and then knowing how that changes how your application works.
Documentation Preview: CouchDB API
I’m pleased to announce that we are releasing a preview of our documentation, starting with the native CouchDB API.
I should point out that we consider this documentation as a work in progress. Although there is a lot of information here, and you can begin to see the layout and level of detail of information that we are planning for the entire API.
If you want to skip the description, you can go straight to the documentation page.
There’s a few key areas we’d like to highlight:
CouchDB Documentation — Input Welcome
Right now I’m working on the reference API documentation for CouchDB so that users and developers have somewhere to turn to.
Once I’ve completed that reference, I’ll be writing a number of more targeted documents to cover specific area of CouchDB, such as a guide for handling synchronization, writing views, and using the built-in Futon interface.
