Comparing permanent and ad hoc views

Question

I need to reassure that I have a correct understanding of the difference for permanent and ad hoc views.

• Permanent views are stored in the _design document and computed upon being queried the first time, later changes to documents will result in changing the related documents in the stored B tree file for that view.
• Ad hoc views are calculated completely every time for the complete database?

Ok,

just found the Solution in the CouchDB Wiki.

I got it right.
