What’s faster

doc.getDocumentByKey()

or

doc.getDocumentByUNID()

Subject: by UNID is pretty fast…

…whereas, as Obinna points out, reading a document by key may be slow depending on the view. See, the index may have to updated (or created from scratch if the view hasn’t been used in a while).

Do you mean?:view.getDocumentByKey()

or

database.getDocumentByUNID

It would really depend on what kind of load the environment is under, and how many documents are in a view.

getDocumentByKey has been known to be a bit of a performance hog.
