CouchDB Views - emit Keys as JSON & filter based on any attribute -

consider following employee document structure

{     "_id":...,    "rev":...,    "type":"employee",    "fname":...,    "lname":...,    "designation":...,    "department":...,    "reportingto":...,    "isactive":..,    more attributes    more attributes } 

and following map function in view named "employee"

function(doc) {   if (doc.type=="employee") {     emit({             "eid":doc._id,             "firstname":doc.fname,             "lastname":doc.lname,             "designation":doc.designation,             "department":doc.department,             "reportingto":doc.reportingto,             "active":doc.isactive          },         null         );   } }; 

i want query view based on combination & order of emitted attributes ( query may include few random attributes may duck typing ). possible? if kindly let me know samples or links.

thanks

i've ran same problem few times; can, you'll have index each (not in 1 hash you've done). through whole thing in value emit. can inefficient, gets job done. (see link: view snippets)

i.e.:

function(doc) {     if (doc.type=="employee") {         emit(["eid",doc.values.eid], doc.values);         emit(["firstname", doc.fname], doc.values);         emit(["lastname", doc.lname], doc.values);         emit(["designation", doc.designation], doc.values);         emit(["department", doc.department], doc.values);         emit(["reportingto", doc.reportingto], doc.values);         emit(["active", doc.isactive], doc.values);     } } 

this puts "eid" things in same part of tree, etc., i'm not sure if or bad you.

if start needing lot of functionality [field name:]value searches, worth move towards lucene-couchdb setup. several exist, little immature.
