Ohai CouchDB Users,

So, I've got a situation where I want to maintain a CouchDB database
of users that have a user name and email address. Given that the user
name needs to be unique=97and is significant to my URL scheme=97I've
chosen to use that as the document ID.

However, I'd also like to maintain uniqueness of the email addresses
across users... Any ideas about how to best accomplish this?


Cheers,

Zach
