There would probably be a lot of optimizations you could do within Solr to help with this kind of thing. Art and I talked a little about this at the ILS symposium: why not nestle the XML db inside Solr alongside Lucene? Solr could then manage the indexing of the contents of the db, and augment your search results with data from the db: you could get full records as part of your search results without having to store them in the Lucene index.
At this point, why use a DB? Just store your records in your server file system. It's fast and less applications to worry about maintaining. If your search matches 5 records, just open those 5 files on your server. Good conversations ... getting excited for the conference already! Andrew
