Sorry, I didn't want to criticize the speed of this routine, I was
just  saying that since I'm running unit tests I must restart from a
clean DB every time and I just wanted to avoid re-inserting the
synonyms all the times just to do a test run.

BTW I'm now trying to put synonyms in a seperate DB.

But my question is still valid: how do I iterate over all documents in
the DB without running a query? Or which query to run to return all
documents?

Cheers
