typically when you need arbitrary many-to-many relationships or multiple range queries, it's hard to use a document database.

True, I have run into these limits with CouchDB. Anyways this is a cool storage and I found workarounds like pre- and post filtering or multiple-step lookups.

oh yeah I love couchdb and document databases in general, it's a wonderful and fundamental tech... it's just a certain amount of effort to stuff a particular problem into a btree format, so sometimes it's easier to work with something like postgres
