Wouldnt the problem be if you had many updates, with a sql db you can just
update the record (no harm done) and with lucene it would require a lot more
work, from my limited experience with lucene i cant remember if lucene
allows updates to the index, my thoughts are it would have to be re-indexed
each time your lucene index was changed, can anyone confirm this?

Subject: Can Lucene be Used To Substitute Real Database?
Hi,
I am wondering if I can use Lucene to substitute
real database like mysql db? I know that many people
use lucene only to index mysql db because of inferior
full-text index of mysql.
Can Lucene to be used in place of mysql so that
website visitors can input data that will in turn
inserting row into Lucene just like mysql db?
Many thanks.
