Ben - I can think of two ways to achieve this.
1) While adding your information to the index, query the index for an existing record. If you get no match, add the record. 2) Control the exclusivity requirement from your data source, so that no duplicate records ever have the opportunity to be indexed. This is an operational question, so the *best* way depends on your overall operation, as both of these approaches have consequences on index maintenance operations. Hope this helps. -- jeff On 9/17/05, Ben Gill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am storing names in my index, and am currently getting duplicates > back (quite correctly, on Lucene's part), because I am storing: > > id name > 1 fred > 2 fred > > What I want to happen is, if a duplicate name is added to the index, I > only ever want one entity to exist with the name.... > > What is the best way for me to achieve this? > > Thanks > > Ben > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
