Hi Zoran: One of the biggest issues with Lucene DB integration is the network traffic consumed as consequence of indexing or updating operation, apart from transactionalbilty which can be relaxed in some application. During our Oracle Open World presentation we present some of these issues comparing performance during indexing time (integrated solution versus middle tier solution), network traffic, executions plans and others. Obviously its based on Oracle databases but the concepts are similar for any other solutions. You can download the complete presentation from: http://www28.cplan.com/cbo_export/208/PS_S298820_298820_208-1_v1.pdf http://www28.cplan.com/cbo_export/208/PS_S298820_298820_208-1_v2.pdf To download presentations, please enter the following when prompted.
