There are two ways to interpret your mail: 1) you want to add the content to documents already in the index It is not possible to update some fields in a document. You have to delete and re-index the entire document.
2) you want to read a database record, use a file name, fetch that file and index both database fields and the file content in one document. The DataImportHandler would let you read fields from the database, use fields as file names and load in those files into other fields. This is an advanced use but it might be covered on the DIH page: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler Look for FileDataSource and FieldReaderDataSource.
