Yes, there might be 50 fields. This is not a problem for SOLR/Lucene.
HOWEVER: SOLR is NOT a database and shouldn't be used like one. Your
emails hint that you're thinking like a DB person, not a search person. I
guarantee that if you just index the database information into 9 different

Hi,
This is something that I am working on too.I have been trying to combine
results from 3 different tables and trying to avoid the usual SQL union
clauses.
One thing I have tried to do is watch out for common fields like, for

languages are empty/not set). It works all very well and fast.
I wonder
I can interprete your question in 2 different ways:
1. Do you want to index several heterogenous documents all coming from
different tables? So documents of type "tableA" are created and indexed
alongside documents of type "tableB", "tableC", etc.
2. Do you want to combine unrelated data from 15 ta
I understand (and its straightforward) when you want to create a index for
something simple like Products.
But how do you go about creating a Solr index when you have data coming from
10-15 database tables, and the tables have unrelated data?
The issue is then you would have many 'columns' in you
