Lucene is not meant to interface directly to a database. You would need to write some code that would extract what you needed out of the database and insert them into the Lucene document index (which is a set of files).
I think Lucene is pretty easy to use and integrate. We had to write a couple of custom HitCollectors to do some of things we wanted to do (particularly sorting), but other than that what they provide is good. The documentation is fairly clear, but I would be glad to help out if you got stuck.
