Beginner question.

My goal is to add documents to my CouchDB database on a remote server.

Is this the a good way?

  1. Create CouchDB documents using a code editor and store them on my hard drive.
  2. Post them to my CouchDB database on a remote server.

If yes, how to do #2 on Windows?

    I suggest using your browser, and use the Futon web app, which all CouchDB servers support. Just go to /_utils/ in your browser and you can get started adding and modifying documents.

    Once you are comfortable, I suggest the curl tool, however keep in mind that Windows is a little different from the examples.

    In Linux and Mac, curl looks like this

    curl -X POST http://localhost:5984/db/ -d '{"_id":"something"}'

    In Windows, you cannot use the single-quote:

    curl -X POST http://localhost:5984/db/ -d "{\"_id\":\"something\"}"
