Hi, I have an application. It has large number of records around (1.2 million) with a possibility of doubling every year. The average records being added per day is around 3000 distributed over the day. The inserted record has to be searchable immediately once it is entered into the database and the index updated. I have created a Lucene index, and the size is around 0.5 GB. The search DOES not require text search. It just includes search by First Name, Last Name, Employee ID. What would be better solution in the existing situation and long run? Keeping all the searchable records in one database table (issuing a select query against one table) or using Lucene index. Thanks in advance. -Kalpesh
