Hi,

The answer is "it depends" ;)

If your 10 tables represent an entity e.g a person their address etc the one document entity works

But if your 10 tables each represnt a series of entites that you want to surface in your search results separately then make a document for each (I.e it depends on your data).

What is your use case? Are you wanting a search index that is able to search on every field in your 10 tables or just a few? Think of it this way if you where creating SQL to pull the data out of the db using joins etc what fields would you grab, do you get multiple rows back because some of you tables have a one to many relationship. Once you have formed that query that is your document minus the duplicate information caused by the rows

Cheers
