Dear Wayne,

I might not clarify what I am doing.

I didn't establish a traditional Web site. What I am doing is a
searching engine with some new techniques. I need to crawl pages from
some Web sites and manage them on my site. I think when users search
the pages, Lucene can support for sure. However, when I manage the
crawled links locally myself, a database, such as MySQL, must be good
enough. This is my initial design.

But if so, my site must have two modules to manage data. One is Lucene
and the other is MySQL. Is it necessary? I even found that MySQL had a
bug, such as "Invalid attempt to access a field before calling
Read()". So if Lucene can do both the above work, I might not use
MySQL any more. How do you think about that?

Thanks so much!
LB
