Not really. A document in Lucene is a logical entity comprising named fields. So a row in the db would probably be represented as a Lucene document. Each [searchable] column on the table would be represented as a field of the document. However, you may find it necessary to build psuedo fields in Lucene that span multiple columns in the database if you want to do complex queries across multiple fields since in Lucene you typically need to preface your search keywords with the field they are located in (eg. Field1:SearchKey).
