Question: a helpful link describing the "every-doc-is-a-delta storage pattern"?

Was wondering if you had a link to a description of the every-doc-is-a-delta storage pattern? My google searches didn't find anything that helpful. Could even be added to the README.

Thanks.

Hi, it's described here: PouchDB Docs: Conflicts / Accountants don't use erasers

..which links to here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/pathelland/2007/06/14/accountants-dont-use-erasers/

Sounds like "every-doc-is-a-delta" is another way of saying "log database". Is that right?

Also, I would look up anything related to "Event Sourcing" which perhaps is a superset of this idea. Basically, the idea is that you save the events that happen in your system and then compile those into views.

Here's an article about it (by another DB that implements the pattern). https://www.eventstore.com/event-sourcing
