Besides the other replies on this thread, there is another really
nice way to tie a database dynamically to Solr. Use acts_as_solr.
The prerequisites are that you be using Ruby and ActiveRecord to
model your database tables. But its as easy as this:
class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_solr
end
Any time a book record is updated, created, or deleted the change is
sent to Solr and committed. And it supports searching via Solr and
merging those results with the database records.

I am really new to the search space and to Solr, so I apologize if my

Can Solr index database records directly by accessing whatever db
server
I have, or does it only index web documents (via http)?
