While developing one of the U1Db-Qt examples I came across a situation 
where I didn't necessarily want to use a ListView, because I only wanted 
to retrieve one known document.

While it is possible to work with ListView to achieve what was needed, 
it might also have unintended consequences because of the nature of the 
ListView.

For example, as mentioned I only want one known document, which after it 
is retrieved I want to place the value into a TextField. I can use a 
delegate in a ListView as long as only the one document I want is 
retrieved. If for whatever reason more than one is returned then the 
ListView will automatically be populated with the appropriate amount of 
delegates, which is not the desired situation for the use case I described.

Unless I missed something it does not seem possible to limit either the 
model or views to an absolute number of entries/documents/delegates.

Is there a way that U1Db can be used straight from a single TextField or 
similar element?
