Hi, I feel by different files u mean two different sub directories under a common folder(i.e. directory). Now, one stores 3 fields and another one stores 2 fields. Also, the class_Id or Class_Name(file 1) and the Student_Id fields(file 2) should be indexed and stored in the index. You need to have your own code for implementing the same, that will perform the search. The code snippet below, I feel if included in ur own searcher code would provide results on the command line. Also, I have not tested it but in case of problem, pl. send me a small sample database of the two tables to be indexed( and not the index files) or something similar one.
Regards, Jitender code: ======== String searchStr=null; ArrayList results = new ArrayList(); ArrayList results1 = new ArrayList(); Searcher indexSrch = new IndexSearcher("file1");//"file1" is the file that stores the 3 fields Analyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer(); Query query = QueryParser.parse(searchStr, "Class_Id", analyzer); Hits hits = indexSrch.search(query); for( int i=0; i<hits.length(); i++) { Document doc = hits.doc(i); String id = doc.get("Student_Id");// retrieves the Student's Id results.add(id); } // need to feed the "results" contents to the query1 as "searchStr1" Searcher indexSrch1 = new IndexSearcher("file2");//"file2" is the file that stores 2 fields if (hits.length!=0) { for (int j = 0; j<results.size(); String searchStr1= results.get(j)) { Query query1= QueryParser.parse(searchStr1, "Student_Id", analyzer); Hits hits1 = indexSrch1.search(query1); for( int k=0; k<hits1.length(); k++) { Document doc = hits1.doc(0); String Student_name = doc.get("Student_Name"); results1.add(Student_name); } } } ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Jose" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Lucene Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 11:56 PM Subject: Doing a join? > Is it possible to do a join on two fields when searching a Lucene Index. > For example, I have an index of documents that have a "StudentName" and a > "StudentId" field and another document that has "ClassId", "ClassName" and > "StudentId".
