there are a couple of people who participated in TREC that used a relational database to directly store the postings list for each term. from what i recall, search performance in terms of elapsed time was reasonable, not particularly fast nor slow. i gather that each term's posting list was an individual BLOB in the database. the term string was used as the index column. i believe the group used stemming.
