Hi All,

I am facing a scenrio where I am considering using Lucene over the existing
implementation. The move to Lucene is going to require a lot of re-work so I
though I better post this and ask for an expert opinion.

Background
 There are 3 tables.
 1. University
 2. Course
 3. Subjects
 
 A university can have multiple courses.
 2 universities can offer the same course.
 A course can have multiple subjects.
 2 courses can have the same set of subjects.
 
Current implemetation.
        The current table is  
        uni_id, course_id, subject_id
        
        I usually query for the uni_id based on combinations of course_id and
subject_id. The "user" looks for a university based on subject or a course
name.
        
Proposed Implementation
        The new table would be 
        uni_id, course_name, subject_name
        
        Index(using Lucene) the table on course_name and subject_name and then 
look
for the uni_id using Lucene Index.
        
The size of the table is huge, test data has over 5000000 rows.

Shall I move to Lucene? Would it help improving the performance?

TIA.
Shardul.
