hi, I have till now used lucene mainly for searching through text files. I wanted to know if its sensible to use lucene with a database which does not have fields with large text values. for e.g. a table like
id Name Address 1 Name1 name1,strreet1,city1,country1 2 Name2 name2,strreet2,city2,country2 3 Name3 name3,strreet3,city3,country3 4 Name4 name4,strreet4,city4,country4 with abt a 10000 records like this. Is it worth using and maintaining a lucene index instead of just creating indices in the database on the fields to be searched for. Will using lucene offer any significant performance benefit. How much of a performance overhead will updating the index(each time the database changes) would be. All these fields need not be analyzed. ANy help would be gr8. -- Puneet
