I don't think it is either/or  even if you did have your meta data in a
DB, that does not mean it can't be indexed by Lucene and I believe
Lucene is faster for a field search than any DB would be on a SQL
query.  To top it off I think there are plenty of Slides out there that
use the XML Descriptor Store, where if you want to search metadata
Lucene is the clear winner....
