Okay--at least I know I'm on the right track :)

One other question--is the docid invariant? In other words, if I ever delete
a document from a database, will its docid change? If I combine several
databases together, will their docids change if there is duplication (i.e.:
same docid across multiple dbs?).

Thanks,
