Databases support many indexing schemes -- better to keep the index and data in the same resource manager.

Seems to me like this (provided a index rebuild utility is available or created) would take advantage of the database's robustness with minimal effort. Any thoughts?
This is certainly possible, and if Xindice were the only client updating the database, the indexes would remain up to date as well (without manual rebuilds). It'd be nice to have a way to schedule rebuilds of BTree indexes for situations where the underlying relational database may change outside of Xindice's control.
