Hi,
I am in process of implementing a Knowlegde base for internal use by my company. The contents of this Knowledge base will be stored in one or more database table(s). I am evaluating Lucene for performing text searches on this Knowledge base. I understand that Lucene has two components, indexing and searching, but both these components work on files, not on text data stored in an RDBMS. In order for me to use Lucene, would I need to develop a process that will extract text data out of the database, create text files and then do the indexing and searching? Are there any other approaches to this problem? Comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? New DSL Internet Access from SBC & Yahoo!
