You can do all the queries you describe.

it is just a matter of translating them to the couchdb view api.

These links are good for getting the high level understanding:

http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/View_collation

between that and the view api you should be able to get started.

if you need more guidance, let us know.

Chris
