title: Is it good practice to give each CouchDB user a separate database?
body: <p>I have a bit of conceptual question regarding the structure of users and their documents.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is it a good practice to give each user within CouchDB their own database which hold their document?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have read that couchDB can handle thousands of Databases and that It is not that uncommon for each user to have their database.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Reason:</strong></p>
  
  <p>The reason for asking this question is that I am trying to create a system where a logged in user can only view their own document and can't view any other users document. </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
