Deleting a document in Couchbase server admin console

[parvez....@decurtis.com]

if we delete a document by pressing Delete button against it in Couchbase admin web console. Will this delete action gets propagated to all connected clients which is using Couchbase lite? My observation is that if I delete a document on web console then this change do not get propagated to the client (ios application using Couchbase Lite framework). Is this an issue or there is something missing that is responsible for this ? My purpose here is to delete some documents from bucket instead of flushing the bucket and re-starting the sync gateway.

You actually shouldn't ever edit a Couchbase Server document directly if it's in a bucket that is being managed by Sync Gateway.

The upcoming release of Sync Gateway 1.5 will allow that, but in the current Sync Gateway 1.4 release the only way to safely use that is via Bucket Shadowing, which is in the process of being deprecated.

You’ll need to send a DELETE to the doc’s URL using the SG REST API. This deletion leaves behind a ‘tombstone’ revision that gets propagated to clients.

Can you give a simple example of SG rest api to delete a document?

(using httpie, which is much better than curl for this sort of stuff)

http DELETE 'localhost:4985/db/somedoc?rev=2-ffffffff’

or

curl -X DELETE 'localhost:4985/db/somedoc?rev=2-ffffffff’
