Can MongoDB MapReduce functions behave like CouchDB views?

219 Views Asked by At

The nice thing about CouchDB is that the view results are updated incrementally as the database changes. Is there a way to accomplish the same thing with MongoDB? I've been unable to locate any specifics in the documentation. Thanks

No, MongoDB does not support dynamically-updated views in the way that CouchDB does. MapReduce results are written to a collection on disk and/or returned in the query; they are not updated unless you run the job again to do it.
