Query RavenDB without using the studio interface

Question

I am trying to view my sagas in the RavenDB management studio, and loading even the initial page, all that I see is this "Querying documents..." box with a continuous moving progress bar. I can not seem to get past it, going from page to page it does not go away. Is there a way to pull all of the saga data into a list so I can look at it? It appears the issue is that the saga documents are continuously being added.

I've looked into the HTTP API and the Linq adapters, but I guess I am looking for something that already exists that can easily peer into the server much like the silverlight studio, except not such a pain. I more or less just want to pull a snapshot of all the documents into some kind of readable list.

Answer 1

If anyone wants to know how to browse the data through REST call,

"localhost:8080/databases/{database-name}/docs/{dataset-name}/id"

example:

"localhost:8080/databases/testDB/docs/Sites/1" will give the json data for the "Sites" document

"localhost:8080/databases/testDB/docs/" will give the json data for all the documents in testDB.

I find LINQPad 4 convenient, the RavenDB driver for LINQPad can be found here:

For the command line - cURL using dynamic indexes as explained here:

In the browser, go to http://localhost:8080/docs You might need to install JsonView, but that should give you what you want.
