How to do partial update of a document

Question

I need a guidance on how can I update a field in CouchDB. I tried curl via console it works fine but programatically. I don\'t understand how to update a particular field sa

Answer 1

Partial updates are not supported by CouchDB. In other words, to update a field in the document, you must update the field in your local JSON document and push that document to CouchDB as a whole.

You can accomplish this by still issuing an HTTP PUT, ensuring the appropriate _rev is included in your document.
